3 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS
The FieldServer is connected to the GE PLC in one of two ways.
Almost every GE PLC has a RS-232 and RS-485 port. Possible cable configurations are illustrated below.
A converter is required to connect between RS-232 and RS-485. An example of connection configurations for the
Model480TLED connector is depicted overleaf. Any equivalent connector can be used.
