5.4 Connecting the bus systems
The VISIC100SF has an RS-485 output as standard. This can be used for a Modbus
connection to a central control system or to connect to the TAD control unit with integrated
I/Os. The keypad serves to configure the RS-485 interface assignment.
5.4.1 Setting the RS-485 interface with submenu item “Bus”
Assignment of RS-485 interface:
● TAD control unit
● Modbus
● IO (external modules)
● IO + TAD control unit (TAD control unit with integrated I/O modules)
A change of the RS-485 interface assignment is first effective after a restart.
