Lifasa MASTER control Var User Manual

4.9.- RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS
Controller MASTER control VAR FAST units have an RS-485 serial communication output
with the Modbus RTU ® communications protocol
4�9�1� CONNECTIONS
The RS -485 cable should be wired with a twisted pair cable with mesh shield (minimum 3
wires), with a maximum distance between the Controller MASTER control VAR FAST and the
master unit of 1,200 metres.
A maximum of 32 Controller MASTER control VAR FAST units can be connected to this
bus.
Use an intelligent RS-232 to RS-485 network protocol converter (M54020 intelligent converter)
to establish the communications with the master unit. This converter does away with the need
for the Pin 7 connection on the RS-485 side.
