Figure 27 shows the pin configuration for the RS485 port connectors. If
you are fabricating cables for your application, the panel connector is a
DB9S.
The Modbus Plus inline connector (part number AS-MBKT-085) is an
acceptable substitute for an RS485 cable connector. Do not use a
Modbus Plus terminating connector (AS-MBKT-185) in this
application.
