Connecting RS485 devices to X2
Requirements:
The same baud rate (1200 baud, 9600 baud or 19200 baud) must be set in all RS485 devices.
Procedure:
- Dismantle 40 mm of the product end of the RS485 cable.
- Strip the shielding to the same length as the cable sheath.
- Shorten unused insulated conductors flush with the cable sheath.
- Strip off the conductor insulation by 6 mm.
- Release the conductor entries on the supplied six-pole plug.
- Connect the RS485 data cable conductors to the supplied six-pole plug. To do so, plug the conductors into the conductor entries and close the conductor entries. Observe the connector assignment.
- If the product is at the end of the RS485 bus, install a jumper wire as a line terminator between pin 5 and pin 6 on the six-pole plug.
- Plug the six-pole plug into the port X2 on the product.
