CAUTION!
DO NOT route Modbus communication wiring in the same
conduit as power wiring. Attempting to do so may result in
excessive noise on the signal lines. Also, ensure that the RS232
or RS485 signal cable connections do not exceed the following
lengths:
RS232 Cable: 50 feet maximum
RS485 Cable: 4,000 feet maximum
8) To permit Modbus control of the ECS, refer to Table 2-1 and connect the appropriate wire
leads to the Temperature Controller terminals listed. Refer to the Temperature Controller
(Eurotherm 2408) pinouts shown in Figure 2-6 to locate the required terminals. Also, refer
to Appendix A for a listing of active Modbus data addresses for the 2408 Controller. In
addition, the Eurotherm documents referenced in this Appendix provide additional
communication information related to Modbus.
NOTE:
The complete wiring diagram for the Electronic Control System is
provided in Appendix B of this Instruction Manual. In addition, the
wiring connections for Terminal Blocks TB-1 and TB-2 are provided
for reference purposes.
NOTE:
AERCO recommends that shielded, twisted-pair cable be used for
communication wiring. Examples of suitable wiring are: Belden 9841,
8761, 3105A, or equivalent.
