Concept
Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter (SXWNISORS48510001) is used when connecting an RP or MP controller to the following networks:
BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network including non-isolated controllers
Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork including Modbus devices
The adapter converts the controller RS-485 Com port RJ45 interface to screw terminals, which is required to be able to connect the controller to a BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU subnetwork.
A separate connection cable is required to connect the adapter to the controller. The cable is not included and needs to be purchased separately.
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter is used when connecting an IP based RP or MP controller (BACnet/IP controller) to a BACnet MS/TP network that includes non-isolated controllers, such as the b3 BACnet family of zone controllers.
The adapter can be used with BACnet/IP controller models that support reconfiguration for BACnet MS/TP communication. For more information, see SpaceLogic RS-485 Adapters .
The BACnet/IP controller needs to be reconfigured to communicate with automation servers based on the BACnet MS/TP protocol, instead of the BACnet/IP protocol. For more information, see Allocating Flexible Ports .
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter is used when connecting an RP or MP controller to a Modbus RTU subnetwork that includes Modbus devices that are non-isolated or isolated.
The adapter can be used with RP and MP controller models that support Modbus RTU communication. For more information, see SpaceLogic RS-485 Adapters .
One of the controller's RS-485 port(s) needs to be configured for Modbus RTU communication. For more information, see Allocating Flexible Ports .
RS-485 Adapter Device Installation
The RS-485 adapter has a protruding bracket on each long side with a mounting hole to facilitate installation of the device with two screws (not included). The device can also be fastened using cable ties or mounted in line with a cable run. The RS-485 adapter is suitable for plenum use.
For more information, see Installing an RS-485 Adapter .
Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter Connection and Wiring
The Non-isolated RS-485 Adapter is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection to an RP or MP controller RS-485 Com port and a 4-position removable screw terminal block for connection to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network or Modbus RTU (RS-485) subnetwork.
