- Page 16 Multi-node Connection When there are many nodes on the RS485 bus, it is imperative to use a daisy-chain topology. If branch topology is required for connections, the branch length from the bus to each node should be as short as possible, ideally not exceeding 3 meters.
- Page 17 RS485 Bus Wiring When configuring the RS485 communication interface for the AX500 series programmable controller, ensure the following: Three Cables: Make sure the on-site RS485 bus includes three cables, namely 485A, 485B, and GND. Correct Wiring: Check whether the wiring terminals are connected incorrectly or reversed. Ensure that 485A and 485B are not reversed, and GND is correctly grounded.
