Passive Components for RS-485 Networks
Disconnecting a Station
The bus connector allows you to disconnect a node from the bus without
interrupting the data traffic on the bus.
Removing the bus connector when the terminating resistor is activated at the end
of the cable causes disruptions on the bus and is not permitted.
Bus Connector with PG Socket
We recommend that you include at least one bus connector with a PG socket in
each bus segment. This makes it easier to commission using a programming
device or PC.
In the bus connectors with a PG socket, all the contacts are connected 1:1 with the
connector pins; in other words, the pinout is the same as the pinout of the attached
device.
