Figure 10. S2 Termination Configuration

If a value other than the on-board 120 ohm termination is required, then
S2-3 and S2-4 should be set to the OFF position. The Modbus Card
terminal strip provides easy access to attach external termination
resistors across the TxD(+), TxD(–), RxD(+), and RxD(–) RS-485 network
lines.

Biasing Resistors

C A U T I O N

Biasing resistors should be used at only one point in the RS-485 network.

Biasing resistors are used to ensure that the idle voltage sensed across
the receiver does not create false data bits. The factory-default for
S2 (1–6) is OFF.

Two on-board 620 ohm biasing resistors may be selected by setting
S2-1 and S2-2 to the ON position. If biasing is set at the master terminal
unit, then S2-1, S2-2, S2-5, and S2-6 should be set to the OFF position.
