The RS485 electrical connection can be used in a single or multi-drop configuration. The RS485 master must support
and use the Auto Device Enable (ADE) feature. The last device in the connection must be terminated correctly in
accordance with the master device driving the connection. This can be done via the internal 120 ohm terminating
resistor, which can be connected between 14 (A) and 18 (B) by fitting an external wire loop between terminals 18
and 20 on the power supply module.
The polarity of the signal terminals is marked as A and B in line with the RS485 standard. The polarity is that when
the bus is in the quiescent state and no communication is taking place, the B terminal is more positive than A. This
can be used to identify the polarity of any equipment to be connected, typically measured at each terminal in turn
to ground. Connection of the device to a termination network at the end of the bus will also be to suit the quiescent
state as shown in the diagram below.
The polarity marking is often found to be reversed or marked as +/- on other equipment so care is required. If the
devices are connected in reverse, communication to all devices will be disturbed but no damage will occur. If problems
are experienced during commissioning, the connections should be tried in reverse.
The maximum number of relays that can be connected to the bus is 64.
The RS485 data comms link will be broken for that particular relay element if it is withdrawn from the case but the
chain of communication to the other relays is maintained.
The following settings, on the COMMUNICATIONS MENU, must be configured when using the RS485 interface.

The protocol used
to communicate on
the standard RS485
connection.
An address within the
range of the relevant
protocol must be
given to identify the
relay. Each relay in a
network must have a
unique address.
