Working Principle The CPU reads data through the backplane, packages it as serial frames, and sends it to external devices through isolated transceivers. External serial signals are isolated and converted to digital values, uploaded to the CPU via the backplane. LEDs indicate transmit/receive status.
Installation Requirements
- Insert into slot with power off
- Shielded serial cable
- 120 Ω termination resistor at RS485 bus end
- Grounding
- Temperature 0 °C to +60 °C
- Install driver and configure parameters after power-up
- Ensure no duplicate addresses
Precautions
- Power off before insertion/removal
- RS485 A/B polarity must not be reversed
- Baud rate must match both ends
- Store spares in anti-static packaging
- Wear ESD wrist strap
- Check termination resistor on communication fault
