CONNECTION
The HD35APR and HD35APS base units have a RS485 communication port with MOD-
BUS-RTU protocol. For connecting the HD35APS base unit, use the CPM12-8D… series cables
with 8-pole M12 connector. The figure and the table below show the numbering and the func-
tion of the connector contacts:

Thanks to RS485 connection, several instruments can be connected in a multi-point network.
The instruments are connected in sequence by means of a shielded cable with twisted pair
wires for signals and a third wire for the ground.
Line terminations must be placed at the ends of the network. The cable shield must be connect-
ed to both ends of the line.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected to the line (Bus) RS485 depends on the
load characteristics of the devices to be connected. The RS485 standard requires that the total
load doesn’t exceed 32 (Unit Loads). The load of a base unit HD35APR or HD35APS is equal to 1
unit load. If the total load is higher than 32 unit loads, divide the network in segments and add a
signal repeater between a segment and the following. A line termination must be placed at both
ends of each segment.
The cable maximum length depends on the transmission speed and on the cable characteris-
tics. Typically, the maximum length is 1200
m. The data line must be kept separated from any
power lines to avoid interferences to the transmitted signal.
