Figure B-2: RS-485 Wiring for NetAXS-4 Loop
To Serial Connection
4.0 RS-485 Wiring for a Mixed Loop
•
The 485+ (A) of one controller is connected to 485+ (A) of the next controller
using one wire of the first twisted pair.
•
The 485– (B) of one controller is connected to 485– (B) of the next controller
using the other wire of the first twisted pair.
•
On a loop that contains both NetAXS-123 and NetAXS panels (mixed loop), the
second pair of the wires are twisted together and connected to the RS-485 COM
on the next NetAXS-4 controller to the RS-485 COM of the next NetAXS-4
controller in the loop.
•
Do not connect the RS-485 COM on the NetAXS-123 controllers. The RS-485
COM is bypassed on the NetAXS-123 controller.
•
The shield is only connected on one end of the cable, not both.
