4.2 Expansion Modules MAC00-B1/B2/B4
4.2.7 RS485 - General description when using a MAC00-Bx module
The RS485 offers more noise-
immune communication com-
pared to the RS232 interface.
Up to 32 motors can be con-
nected to the same line.
When connecting the RS485
interface to a central control-
ler, the following rules must
be followed:
1 Use twisted-pair cable
2 Use screened cable
3 Ensure that GND is also
connected.
4 Ensure that all units have a
proper connection to safety
ground (earth) in order to
refer to the same potential.
5 The last unit in each end of
the network must be termi-
nated. Note that the B1, B2
and B4 modules all contain a
termination resistor which
can be activated.
6 Ensure that the supply lines
are connected individually
in order to minimise the
voltage drop between the
motors.
7 Master Controller RS485
interface:
If available, it is strongly rec-
ommended a type with op-
tical isolation is used.
Connectors:
Please read the individual de-
scription for the MAC00-B1,
B2 or B4 to see the connector
layout.

* Opto isolation is recommended.
** The last unit at each end of the line must be terminated. The MAC00-B1, B2
and B4 contain this feature. See the individual module descriptions.
*** Each unit connected must be setup with an address via The MacTalk program.
If only one unit is connected no address is needed.
