8.1.1. General points
An RS 485 link is used to connect up to 31 ATyS with a PC or a
PLC over a distance of 1500 meters, using JBUS / MODBUS
protocol.
Recommendations
You should use a shielded twisted pair (LIYCY type). In an inter-
fearence environment or large network (in terms of length) we
recommend the use of 2 shielded pairs (type LIYCY-CY). In this
case, one pair is used for the + and the –, and another pair,
where the 2 wires are short-circuited, for the 0 V.
A repeater (1 channel) or an arrestor (4 channels) should be
used if you intend to exceed the distance (1500 m) and / or
maximum number (31) of ATyS. Please contact us for more
information.
A 120 ohm resistance (found on the RS485
optional module) must be fixed at both ends of
the link.
