Bus termination is required to prevent signal reflections from the
bus cable ends. The FMBA-01 Modbus Adapter module is
equipped with internal bus termination, which is configurable with
jumper J1 pins. Termination should be activated on devices
located at bus ends and deactivated on other devices. See the
