ATTENTION: Special high level
isolation is required between units when
the possibility of high ground potential
differences exist. This may occur when
separate grounds are used or when
communicating to a unit connected to a
power ground mat. Failure to do so can
lead to personal injury or death, property
damage, or economic loss.

Notes:
1. The communications topology for both R I/O and
RS-485 is designed to operate in a daisy-chain
topology. Use of the star or bridging method will
cause signal distortion unless impedances are
matched for each spur. Bridging is not recommended
without matching networks.
2. To prevent end reflections, each end of the daisy-
chain should be terminated in the characteristic
impedance for the cable, the baud rate, and frequency
used.

3. Each end section of cable should have the shield
connected to the terminal labeled SHLD. This SHLD
ground provides a high frequency ground, while
limiting DC or power line frequencies from flowing
down the cable shield.
4. The RS-485 receivers in the communications card
provide a 1/4 load impedance instead of the normal
full load impedance. This therefore allows the use of
four times the number of receivers (32
4 or 128
total) on one network.
