9. Device communication via the BMS bus
Über die RS485-Schnittstelle des Gerätes können Daten entweder über das BMS-Proto-
koll oder das Modbus RTU-Protokoll übertragen werden. Das gewünschte Protokoll und
die Protokollparameter werden Menü 8.2 (6.3) "Schnittstelle" eingestellt.
Kommunikation mit EDS-Geräten
Die Kommunikation mit EDS-Geräten ist nur mit dem BMS-Protokoll
möglich.
9.1 RS-485 interface with BMS protocol
The RS-485 interface, galvanically isolated from the device electronics, serves as a physi-
cal transmission medium for the BMS protocol. When an ISOMETER® or other bus-capable
devices are interconnected via the BMS bus in a network, the BMS bus must be terminat-
ed at both ends with a 120 Ω resistor. For this purpose, the device is equipped with the
terminating switch RS-485 Term. (ON/OFF).
An RS-485 network that is not terminated is likely to become unstable and may result in
malfunctions. Only the first and last device in one line may be terminated. Hence, stub
feeders in the network must not be terminated. The length of the stub feeders is restrict-
ed to 1 meter.

The optimum topology for an RS-485 network is a daisy-chain connection. In this connec-
tion, device 1 is connected to device 2, device 2 to device 3, device 3 to device n etc. The
RS-485 network represents a continuous path without branches.

Wiring
The following type of wiring is recommended for the RS-485 network:
Shielded cable, core diameter ³ 0.8 mm
(e.g. J-Y(St)Y 2x0.8), shield connected to earth (PE) on one end.
