.MODBUS troubleshooting 3.MODBUS troubleshooting troubleshooting information about MODBUS protocol kindly visit https://modbus.org/ even for recommendations on polarization. Kindly check the general schema of the MODBUS RS485 protocol given below. In case if you have a bad communication and in order to have a right polarization, follow this formula for calculating the voltages between B+ and A- for finding out if the connections satisfy the condition ≥... - Page 9 3.MODBUS troubleshooting If the Datalogger does not have this RS485 net, the user has to do the proxy from input/output. If the lines are longer user could implement the polarization and if the line is more longer it is suggested to provide with a local power supply which should be polarized. Examples of local power supply for less than 5 devices connected is given below.
