Installation
5.7 Fieldbus
It is strongly recommended to avoid any simultaneous communication via USB and
fieldbus!
5.7.1 Addressing
Each slave in the network must have a unique address and must run at the same baud
rate!
For setting the fieldbus configurations through the control panel, see section 8.3 <Box Setup> Page,
page 49.
5.7.2 RS485 based Installations
The recommended way to add more devices into a network is connecting each device in series to the
next in a linear topology (daisy chain).
Use only one power supply for all boxes in the network to avoid ground loops!
It is strongly recommended to use shielded and pair twisted cables (e.g. CAT.5)!
Make sure the network line is terminated!
