9.3 9.3 RS 485 Repeater in ungrounded and grounded operation
Grounded or ungrounded
The RS 485 Repeater is ...
● Grounded, if all other nodes on the segment are also operated on ground potential
● ungrounded, if all other nodes in the segment are operated on ungrounded potential
Note
Bus segment 1 is grounded if you connect a PG to the PG/OP socket of the RS 485
Repeater. The segment is grounded, because the MPI in the PG is grounded, and the
PG/OP socket of the RS 485 Repeater is connected internally with bus segment 1.
Grounded operation of the RS 485 Repeater
For grounded operation of the RS 485 Repeater, you must bridge terminals "M" and "PE" on
the top of the RS 485 Repeater.
Ungrounded operation of the RS 485 Repeater
For ungrounded operation of the RS 485 Repeater, do not interconnect "M" and "PE" on the
top of the RS 485 Repeater. In addition, the supply voltage to the RS 485 Repeater must be
ungrounded.
Wiring diagram
In a repeater configuration with ungrounded reference potential (ungrounded operation), any
interference currents and static charges are discharged to the protective conductor by
means of an RC network integrated in the repeater (refer to the figure below).
