1
Configuration Communication protection board that
2 offers protection for 2-wire RS-485
communication buses against external
Communication electrical hazardous variables such as
8B2 network protection voltage surges and spikes. As being a
board(s) passive unit, there is no need of external
power or flow control, although the
protection board includes optional bus
polarization. Final configuration can be
set through jumpers.
93 RS-485 Gateway Configuration 2-port standard serial-to-Ethernet
(underneath 8B) 2 Modbus gateway
1
Depending on number of TCUs on site, up to two gateways can be placed inside the NCU. In case a second Zigbee
gateway is included, an antenna splitter element is installed in the cabinet.
2
One protection board per each cabled bus.
