    User’s Manual r6.3 EN 2.2 Connection to the EIA-485 bus Connect the EIA-485 bus wires to the plug-in terminal block of MH-RC-MBS-1 and keep the polarity on this connection (A+ and B-). Make sure that the maximum distance to the bus is 1,200 meters (3,937 ft).
  • Page 7: Modbus Interface Specification

    4. Modbus Interface Specification 4.1 Modbus physical layer MH-RC-MBS-1 implements a Modbus RTU (Slave) interface, to be connected to an EIA-485 line. It performs 8N2 communication (8 data bits, no parity and 2 stop bit) with several available baud rates (2400 bps, 4800 bps, 9600 bps -default-, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 76800 bps and 115200 bps).

    This mechanism must be supplied by the Modbus Master. The MH-RC-MBS-1 device includes an on-board terminator resistor of 120Ω that can be connected to the EIA-485 bus by using DIP-switch SW4. Some Modbus RTU EIA-485 Master devices can provide also internal 120Ω terminator resistor and/or fail safe biasing mechanism (Check the technical documentation of the Master device connected to the EIA-485 network in each case).
