Use
Fieldbus for connection to user
interfaces, MCX controllers, service
tools etc.
Prepared for future use
For connection to Flash drive
for application software update,
datalogging and service
Communication bus to BMS (e.g.
Modbus slave), service tools, smart
devices (e.g. Modbus master)
RS485-1 can be polarized as master
from the application
For web server functionality,
integration (e.g. Modbus TCP)
NOTICE! Do not route cable outside
of buildings.
Connect only to IT equipment
compliant with EN 60950 or EN
62368 (Information technology
equipment. Safety. General
requirements)

Concerning the insulation distance there are three groups of relays:
• group 1: relays 1 to 8
• group 2: relays 9 to 13
• group 3: relays 14 to 20
Insulation between relays of the same group: functional
Insulation between relays of different groups: reinforced
Insulation between relays and the extra-low voltage parts: reinforced
Total current load limit: 65 A
