Note- 10k pull-up to 12VDC
- Input can be a contact to GND or voltage
- Keep the length of the cables to the contact input minimal

Relay contact

DescriptionSpecification
Max. load30VDC / 1A, 30VAC / 1A (resistive load)

I/O bus

DescriptionSpecification
Cable typeRS485 Modbus cable (twisted pair, 4-wire (inc. GND signal), minimal 0.6mm, 22 AWG)
Length< 1km
Termination resistor120Ω
Characteristic cable impedance120Ω

For reliable operation, an RS485 cable must always be installed in a linear bus topology (daisy chain).
