Danger!
Risk of explosion
When work is performed on the remote I/O unit in hazardous areas, there is a risk of explosion
from spark formation.
Work must be performed with a hot work permit only, in other words when there is no
potentially explosive atmosphere.
The W&T RS-232-RS-485 interface converter can be connected to the remote I/O unit using
either a preassembled or self-made cable. You can order the preassembled cable together
with the W&T RS-232-RS-485 interface converter from Pepperl+Fuchs.
Use the following wiring diagram if you intend to make your own cable.
