Isolated RS-485 Adapter Connection and Wiring

The Isolated RS-485 Adapter is equipped with an RJ45 port for connection to a BACnet/IP controller RS-485 Com port and a 4-position removable screw terminal block for connection to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network.

The following figure shows an example of how an Isolated RS-485 Adapter is connected to the RS-485 Com B port (RJ45) of an RP-C controller via a Cat 5 (or higher) UTP cable of maximum length 0.3 m (12 in.) and how the BACnet MS/TP network (RS-485) wires from the adapter are connected to the RS-485 Com port screw terminals of an AS-P server.

Connection of RJ45 port to BACnet/IP controller RS-485 Com port

A separate connection cable is required to connect the RJ45 port on the RS-485 adapter to the RS-485 Com port (RJ45) on the BACnet/IP controller. The cable is not included and needs to be purchased separately.

Use a Cat 5 (or higher) unshielded, straight-through wired cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs) and RJ45 connectors. Use a cable with the wire size (cross-sectional area) 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm²), a maximum length of 0.3 m (12 inches), and a rating that meets the requirements of the target environment. For example, when devices are installed in a space that handles conditioned air or return air, the cables typically need to be plenum-rated.

Aviso

LOSS OF COMMUNICATION

  • Ensure that the length of the cable for connection of the RS-485 adapter to the controller does not exceed 0.3 m (12 inches).

  • Use a Cat 5 or higher unshielded twisted pair cable with eight conductors (four twisted pairs), a cross-sectional area of 22 to 26 AWG (0.34 to 0.14 mm 2 ), and a rating that meets the requirements of the target environment.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of communication.

Wiring of screw terminals for connection to BACnet MS/TP network

The four screw terminals are wired and connected to a BACnet MS/TP (RS-485) network as described in the following table.

Recommended screw tightening torque: 0.5 Nm (4.5 lbf.in)

Terminal

Usage

BIAS+

Provides +5 VDC for use to deliver a positive bias to the TX/RX+ data line through an appropriate value resistor. For example, when configuring strong dual end bias such as required by MNB BACnet devices, a 1 kohm resistor would be connected between the BIAS+ and TX/RX+ terminal.

TX/RX+

Data line (+) for connection to the TX/RX+ signal in the BACnet MS/TP twisted pair connecting all devices on the bus.

TX/RX–

Data line (–) for connection to the TX/RX– signal in the BACnet MS/TP twisted pair connecting all devices on the bus.

SHIELD

Provides common (low side) of 5 VDC supply for delivering negative bias to the TX/RX– data signal through an appropriate value resistor. For example, when configuring strong dual end bias such as required by MNB BACnet devices, a 1 kohm resistor would be connected between the SHIELD and TX/RX– terminal. The Isolated RS-485 Adapter removes the need for a separate 5 VDC supply when positioned at the end of the bus.
