Modbus rs485 cable specification.

For modbus communications a shielded and twisted pair cable is used. If you agree to the terms herein then you must click the i accept button below before you are permitted to use this software protocol and related documents. Specification of a class is the sum of requirements that a device must respect in order to belong to that class. The industrial rs 485 cables are designed with low capacitance ideal for long distance applications.

But any cable with similar characteristics can be used to connect all the devices together. This document comes in complement to the document called modbus application protocol specification. Over short distances 100 ft. General overview of modbus documents.

Modbus specifications and implementation guides. From power limited tray cable pltc and plenum cmp rated cable to low smoke zero halogen cable you get the ideal solution for your automation network. Go back to modbus rs485 cabling rules 8. The proper method of wiring an rs 485 network is described with recommendations for twisted pair cabling and correctly locating termination resistors.

Modbus cable interface quickly and easily with most existing plant control architectures by using belden cabling for modbus. One example of such cable is belden 3105a. Please review the following license agreement before down loading any modbus protocol or related documents from this web site. Received waveforms are shown for examples of proper and improper cable termination.

Go back to modbus rs485 cabling rules 7. Electrical signaling is balanced and multipoint systems are supported. The wattnode bacnet and modbus meters communicate using rs 485 tia eia 485 a half duplex differential signaling at 9600 19200 38400 and 76 800 baud. In chapter 5 different implementation classes are defined for modbus serial line.

Type of cables to use. The cable shield must be earthed only in one point. Rs 485 also known as tia 485 a or eia 485 is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in serial communications systems. 30 m in electrically quiet environments the type of cable used is usually not a concern but when you need to run long distances in noisy environments at higher baud rates the type of.
