Modbus Gateway RS485 Installation

1 - Electrical Connections

Refer to IoT Pro Opening and Closing for instructions on opening the device to access its wiring connections.

Use a 4-core, 2-pair twisted cable, 0.22mm², such as LAPP 0031320.

  • Use one twisted pair for RS485 A and B

  • Use the second twisted pair for Signal GND / 0V

  • Terminate the cable shield to chassis/PE at one end only. Do not use the shield as the Signal GND conductor.

  • The 120Ω termination resistor is included by default

  • Note: For older versions of the daughter board (IOTPRO_RS485_03), the B* connection represents the termination resistor. To connect the termination resistor, short B with B*.


2 - Mechanical Installation

Refer to IoT Pro Installation Options for different installation options. Wall anchors are recommended for most applications.


3 - System Commissioning
