Terminating Resistance Setting
• The terminating resistance of the ZM-300 series should be set on the DIP switch.
• When the PLC and the master station are connected via RS-422/485, set the
terminating resistance at the PLC and the master station (CN1).
• When the ZM-300 series (master and slave stations) are connected via RS-485
(2-wire), set the terminating resistance at the ZM-300 series master station (MJ1/2) and
the terminating slave station (CN1).
