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:
