12.3 Bus Terminal Resistors
Figure 22. Using jumper X4 to set the bus termination
If Honeywell is the last device of the fieldbus line the bus termination must be set. Use
jumper X4 (ON position). See Figure 22.
Note: Jumper X1 is only used when D9 type connector is assembled (Not used with BACnet
protocol)
12.4 Bus Biasing
Bus biasing is required to ensure faultless communication between devices at RS-485 bus.
Bus biasing makes sure that the bus state is at proper potential when no device is
transmitting. Without biasing, faulty messages can be detected when the bus is in idle state.
RS-485 bus state should be neather +0,200..+7V or –0,200..-7V. Illegal bus state is
<200mV..-200mV.
Number of nodes Bias resistance
2-5 1.8 kohm
5-10 2.7 kohm
11-20 12 kohm
21-30 18 kohm
31-40 27 kohm
