Connecting the Twisted Pair Wires to the Screw

To avoid problems in the RS-422/485 network, the Common

terminal should be wired to the corresponding terminals of the
other devices.

6.

If you use RS-422 or RS-485 to connect just one MMT330 to a
master computer, enable the internal termination of MMT330 by
switching switches 1 and 2 ON. Make sure that the master's end of
the line is also terminated (by using master's internal termination or
with a separate terminator).

If you are connecting many transmitters to the same RS-485 bus,
make sure that switches 1 and 2 are OFF and terminate the bus with
separate terminators at both ends. This allows removing any
transmitter without blocking the bus operation.

NOTE

If you use the internal termination of the transmitter at the end of
the RS-485 bus (instead of using separate terminators) removing
that transmitter will block the bus operation.

7.

Use the bus type (4-wire/2-wire) to select the selection switch 3.

In 4-wire mode RS-485 master sends data to the MMT330 through
terminals Rx D1+ and Rx D0- and receives data from MMT330
through terminals Tx D1+ and Tx D0-.
