Description
RJ45 Port Expansion Module
The flexible design allows complex networks to be quickly connected together using plug in connection cables.
The RJ45 Port Expansion Module is a passive connection device. It does not require any power supply, and is intended for RS485 based serial network connections only. It is not suitable for use with Ethernet communications and devices.
– Signal Interface: Standard 8-way RJ45 connectors
– RS485 signal: Industry standard 2-wire +5V differential
Compatible with Optidrive E3, Optidrive P2, Optidrive ECO
– All pins of ports 1 to 4 are internally connected together at all times. This ensures that all networks are always connected between ports 1, 2, 3 and 4.
– All pins of ports 5 and 6 are internally connected together at all times. This ensures that all networks are always connected between ports 5 and 6.
– Ports 5 and 6 are connected to ports 1 to 4 via the Bus Bridge DIP Switches S3 and S4. This allows the user to select whether connection is required for each individual bus.
– All pins of ports 7 and 8 are internally connected together at all times. This ensures that all networks are always connected between ports 7 and 8.
– Ports 7 and 8 are connected to ports 1 to 4 via the Bus Bridge DIP Switches S5 and S6. This allows the user to select whether connection is required for each individual bus.
