• Use shielded cables for input and output cables
that are exposed to high electromagnetic or radio
frequency noise.
• Cable runs over 30 m or 100 ft require an offset in the
input and output software setup.
RS-485 bus terminals
Wire the RS-485 terminals in a daisy-chain configuration.
Use a stranded three-wire twisted and shielded cable
as shown in Figure 19. The three different wires are the
positive bus, the negative bus, and the COM.
You can use the RS-485 positive and negative wires as
sensor actuator (SA) bus +ve and SA bus -ve.
