RS-485 Communications
The information in this section provides recommendations for the RS-485 interface port configuration between the SmartStruxure server device and RS-485 network devices. This information is intended to supplement existing guides for the SmartStruxure server device and for the various RS-485 network devices.
The guidelines focus on the arrangement of the electrical interface to the RS-485 port in regard to biasing, termination, cable selection, cable length, and cable routing. There are also guidelines presented for maximum unit load (node count) and common mode voltage tolerance.
The guidelines are available through a collection of application notes. Most of the application notes target specific product families such as the b3 BACnet devices, MNB BACnet devices, Legrand power meters, and Viconics VT/VZ/SE 7xxx series devices. There is also an application note directed toward generic RS-485 network devices.

Legrand Power Meters
This application note provides recommendations and guidelines for the configuration of RS-485 Modbus communications between the SmartStruxure server device and Legrand power meters. The recommendations are based on an investigation of Legrand meter models 04677, 04680, 04684, and 14669. The investigation was used to discover isolation and unit load characteristics along with requirements of the RS-485 transceiver for external failsafe biasing on the RS-485 network and to test communications operation with the meters under recommended configurations. This information is intended to supplement the product information provided with the Legrand meters. The guidelines focus on the arrangement of the electrical interface to the SmartStruxure server device'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, AS-B, and Automation Servers with serial number of TD133954000 and later.
