3.5.5.3 Transition from TCP/IP to RS485 Bus
Up to 31 devices can be connected economically via a COM-server with RS485 bus. You can find details
about the structure of a RS485-network in the separate networking description. You can request it from
us or download it from our homepage. Please note that the bus number has to be set directly at the
terminal (see chapter
).
The network structure is a bus. The bus cable is looped through from one device to the other. Branching
is not allowed. The PC can be connected at the beginning, the end or somewhere in the middle of the
network. The total length of the bus cable must not exceed 1000 m.
