If multiple slaves are beingused, they are connected in parallel by using RJ-45 cables andDX-SPL-RJ45 splitters. The PowerXL DC1/DC1… E1/DE1/ frequencyinverter built-in RJ45 port supports the Modbus RTU protocol andtherefore allows a direct network connection without an additionalinterface module. The network cable must be provided at eachphysical end (last station) with a bus termination resistor of 120 Ω inorder to prevent signal reflections and the resulting transfer errors.Splitter model DX-CBL-TERM includes the required resistormentioned above. See the drive manual for further informationon this port. For additional details see the Modbus SerialCommunication Manual (MN040018_EN).
