3.3.1. STAR-TYPE CONNECTION FOR 4-WIRE RS485 BUS
Using the ADA-1044H, configured for operating with 2-ports, 4-wire RS485 (the '
RS-485 PORTS'
switch should be set in 4W position
and '
SW1”
switch should be set in RS485 position), it is possible to make :
- star-type connection of up to 64 devices with 4-wire RS485 interface,
- galvanic separation of RS232 port from RS485 Bus.
During the connecting, pay attention to the proper implementation of the connection according to the following drawings.
