Biasing and terminating an RS485 network connector
Siemens provides an RS485 network connector (Page 1561) that you can use to easily
connect multiple devices to an RS485 network. The connector has two sets of terminals that
allow you to attach the incoming and outgoing network cables. The connector also includes
switches for selectively biasing and terminating the network.
Note
You terminate and bias only the two ends of the RS485 network. The devices in between the
two end devices are not terminated or biased. Bare cable shielding: Approximately 12
mm
the metal guides of all locations.
Switch position = On: Terminated and biased
Switch position = Off: No termination or bias
Switch position = On: Terminated and biased
