Configuration
3.1
RS-485 network – bias and termination
Using the DIP switches, it is possible to bias the communication lines with a defined rest
potential and activate the terminating impedances.
By default, a bias is applied to the RS-485 network in order to improve reliability of
communication.
Under normal circumstances, communication in the RS-485 network should be
troublefree without the need for terminating impedance activation because the data rate
is relatively low.
The following table shows the possible functions depending on DIP switch configuration:

Reference to more detailed instructions
As is customary for the VISY-X System, all VISY-Input 8 / VISY-Output 4 components to
be connected need to be configured using the VISY-Setup configuration software. You
will find detailed information of the components and their configuration in the following
instruction manuals:
•
Technical Documentation VISY-Setup 4 (English) – Art. No. 207158
•
Technical Documentation VISY-Input 8 (English)
– Art. No. 207166
•
Technical Documentation VISY-Output 4 (English) – Art. No. 207131
