Chapter 4 Communication Connections
Single Cable Connection
When connecting a single cable to the DH-485 connector, use Figure 49.
Figure 49 - Single Cable Connection
Multiple Cable Connection
When connecting multiple cables to the DH-485 connector, use Figure 50.
Figure 50 - Multiple Cable Connection
Ground and Terminate the DH-485 Network
Only one connector at the end of the link must have Terminals 1 and 2
jumpered together. This provides an earth ground connection for the shield of
the communication cable.
Both ends of the network must have Terminals 5 and 6 jumpered together, as
shown in Figure 51 on page 69
. This connects the termination impedance (of
120 ohm) that is built into each AIC+ or the 1763-NC01 cable as required by the
DH-485 specification.
