Note 3

Figure 6: Modbus Network Wiring Schematic

Note 1: If CAT5 or other four-conductor cabling is used, One pair may be shorted together and used for the Ground signal. Note 2: Pin numbers for converter depend on the specific converter used. Note 3: Long networks, over 2000ft (600m), may require two termination resistors between the Mb - and Mb + lines at the two extreme ends of the network. The value of the resistors will depend on the characteristic impedance of the cable, which is typically between 100 and 120. Note 4: Only the first EMCP 3 GSC on the Modbus network should have Battery (-) connected to the cable shield. If an EMCP 3 GSC is not present on the network, any single chassis ground may be used. There must be one and only one connection to the cable shield. Note 5: The Modbus terminals are not individually labeled on the ATS controller. There is a green 2-terminal block indicated by the Network Communications (option) marking (see image below).
