NOTE
To increase service of life of your relays and to protect your modules from reverse voltage damages, externally
connect a clamping diode in parallel with each inductive DC load or externally connect an RC snubber circuit in
parallel with each inductive AC load.

Communication Channels
The CPU-700 has three communication channels that supply the user with 3 independent channels
(ports) identified as P1 (EIA-232), P2 (EIA-485) and P3 (EIA-485).
The three channels may be used at the same time with the following features:
- P1 (EIA-232-C) is for programming and monitoring, point-to-point short connections.
- P2 (EIA-485) is for programming and monitoring, point-to-point or multi drop in long industrial
connections.
- P3 can mimic P2 or act as a Master channel for a remote I/O connection Remote I/O interface
module (RIO-700-3). A rotary switch on the CPU Module card can set the P3 channel behavior.
- Any of the ports can be connected to the Smar ENET-700/ENET-710 (Ethernet-Serial)
converter module.
In one Network it is possible to have up to 31 CPU-700 modules. In order to make the correct
communication, each CPU-700 module must have an unique MODBUS ID (address) and a
baudrate for P1 (Modbus) and other baudrate for P2 and P3 (Modbus). Modbus baudrates are
configurable by software throughout the use of CONF700.
Restrictions:
o Only one channel can be used at the same time to monitor the network through the
CONF700. Other channels will be locked after the first one begins.
o All channels are referred with the same address.
o Channels P2 and P3 shares the same baud rate. P1 has a dedicated one.
