Modbus/RS-485 Cable Connections – Field Installations
Special Notes
Ensure that only industrial-rated equipment is used for field installations, with appropriate
measures for handling noisy environments.
If using a PC with USB-to-RS485 connectivity for field installations, use an industrial-rated
USB hub (preferably one with a metal case) for connecting the PC to the USB-to-RS485 cable.
Refer to Appendix C for additional Modbus cabling technical details.
Refer to the document "CSC400_Modbus_Installation_Manual.pdf" for additional details and pictures on additional Modbus
registers, testing, cabling, and troubleshooting.
Cabling
Connect a cable from a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or a PC to the 3-pin terminal strip of the CSC400 labeled
"Modbus", observing proper connections:
-
The RS-485 standard suggests using twisted pair type cables (CAT5E or a shielded twisted pair with ground) for
connecting devices together. This is definitely a requirement for longer cable runs (25m to 1000m) and for use in
noisy environments like industrial or commercial installations.
-
The RS485 signal naming convention used in this document and by many RS485 transceiver vendors is reversed from
what the EIA/TIA-485 specification states:
CSC400 Modbus/RS485
