Chapter 6. Setting Up a 485 Network

Using 485 Network Cables
The type of cable you need to connect the CS4000 Mini Controller with Ethernet to the LAN using the
485-link is the Bellden 8104 low capacitance computer cable or equivalent.
The computer and controllers form a daisy chain when they are networked together, see Figure 1-2
on page 1-5. The cable is inserted in the RS-485 port on the bottom panel of the controller and either
inserted into the RS-485 port controller next to it in the network, or, if it is the first controller in the
network, to the RS-485 port of the supervising computer.
