These connectors are only used to connect the internal 'PACE-Bus' (RS485) components in the cabinet.

If these connectors are used to connect the external 'PACE-Bus' (RS485) components, they must be secured with the components below:

  • The RS485 isolator: 'ICPDAS I-7510 (RS485, isolated)' PNA2009-A1
  • The 'MeanWell SD-50B-24 DC/DC Converter (50W)' PCA2011-A1 or the 'MeanWell SD-100B-24 DC/DC Converter (100W)' PCA2018-A1
  • The 'Ground fault monitoring (24V)' PCA2001-A1
  • Or
  • the 'RS485 module (1 port)' PN1002-A1 with integrated DC/DC converter and ground fault monitoring.
  • Or
  • The 'RS485 module (1 port, DIN rail)' PN2009-A1 with integrated DC/DC converter and ground fault monitoring.

It ensures that a short circuit on the external wiring does not influence the internal function of the cabinet.
