4-14 Communication Connections
Multiple Cable Connection
When connecting multiple cables to the DH-485 connector, use the
following diagram.
Grounding and Terminating the DH-485 Network
Only one connector at the end of the link must have Terminals 1 and
2 jumpered together. This provides an earth ground connection for
the shield of the communication cable. Both ends of the network must
have Terminals 5 and 6 jumpered together, as shown below. This
connects the termination impedance (of 120Ω) that is built into each
AIC+ as required by the DH-485 specification.
