8.1.4 EMC Precautions

The following EMC precautions are recommended in order
to achieve interference-free operation of the RS-485
network.
Relevant national and local regulations, for example
regarding protective earth connection, must be observed.
Keep the RS-485 communication cable away from motor
and brake resistor cables to avoid coupling of high
frequency noise from one cable to another. Normally, a
distance of 200 mm (8 inches) is sufficient, but keeping the
greatest possible distance between the cables is generally
recommended, especially where cables run in parallel over
long distances. When crossing is unavoidable, the RS-485
cable must cross motor and brake resistor cables at an
angle of 90°.

8.2 FC Protocol Overview

The FC protocol, also referred to as FC bus or Standard
bus, is the Danfoss standard fieldbus. It defines an access
technique according to the master-follower principle for
Brake resistor
communications via a serial bus.
One master and a maximum of 126 followers can be
connected to the bus. The master selects the individual
followers via an address character in the telegram. A
follower itself can never transmit without first being
requested to do so, and direct message transfer between
the individual followers is not possible. Communications
occur in the half-duplex mode.
The master function cannot be transferred to another node
(single-master system).

Specify a minimum delay time between
receiving a request and transmitting a
response. This function is for overcoming
modem turnaround delays.
Specify a maximum delay time between
transmitting a request and receiving a
response.
