EIA / TIA-485 wiring notes:
EIA / TIA-485 symbols are used (A = Tx-, B = Tx+ and A' = Rx-, B' = Rx+).
The signal direction is relative to the product being the Modbus slave, i.e. Tx+ from the product
(slave) is to be connected to the Rx+ of the master.
- Twisted pair cable should not be required for short lengths of cable < 1.5 m (< 5 ft). Standard
screened cable should suffice.
- The H/D (Half duplex) pins are used to select two or four-wire Modbus:
i) For two-wire mode, connect terminal 91 and 90 together.
ii) For four-wire mode, do not connect terminals 91 and 90 together.
