This application note provides recommendations and guidelines for the RS-485 interface port configuration between the automation server and generic RS-485 network devices (Modbus or MS/TP). This information is intended to supplement the instructions you receive with the various RS-485 network devices. The guidelines focus on the arrangement of the electrical interface to the automation server's RS-485 port in regards to biasing, termination, cable selection, cable lengths, and cable routing. The guidelines on maximum unit load (node count) and common mode voltage tolerance are associated with AS-P and AS-B servers.
This configuration is recommended if the following conditions apply to the RS-485 network and the devices to be connected to the automation server's RS-485 port:
Depending on your system Modbus might need to be updated.
You set an EcoStruxure PCT Server to password reset mode so that you can create a new password if the old one was forgotten.
You enable the TimescaleDB connection for all servers that are supposed to have a connection to the database.
Listed below are the System Alarms with IDs that begin with the letters P-S.
You can increase the password security by configuring a password policy that defines how passwords must be created by the users.
Use the Context Configuration – Misc tab for configuration of various settings.
Use the XLSX Template– Basic tab to template context and template data.
