Wiring the RS-485 Modbus RTU terminalInstalling the Network Management Module – 12•••2.3.1 Modbus Common/GND (0V pin on terminal block) connectionThe Network Module is an isolated device, if all the other devices on the network are isolated, common/GND (0V pin on terminalblock) should be connected between devices to limit common mode voltage.Common/GND (0V pin on terminal block) should not be connected to any other devices that is not isolated to avoid ground loops.2.3.2 Cable shield connection (foiled or braided)The cable shield should be continuous on the entire length of the bus and should be connected to ground (earth) at only one pointto limit the flow of ground-loop currents in the shield caused by ground potential differences.2.3.3 Two-wire networksInterconnect R- with T- and R+ with T+ on the Modbus Network Module terminal strip.Connect the RS-485 network signal + to the R+ or T+ on the Modbus Network Module terminal strip.Connect the RS-485 network signal – to the R- or T- on the Modbus Network Module terminal strip.2.3.4 Four-wire networksAll four RS-485 network signals including T-, T+, R–, and R+ must be connected respectively to the terminal strip R-, R+, T-, T+.Belden 3106A-22AWG or equivalent cabling (a 1.5 twisted-pair shielded 120Ω cable with ground) is recommended.
