CONNECTION MODES

8.1

EIA (RS)232 to EIA (RS)485

There are three groups of terminals on the I4X; the auxiliary voltage, the RS232 port and the
RS485 port. These are shown in the table below:
I4X
Screw
Terminals
The maximum cable length between the I4X and the RS232 device is 3 meters.
The maximum number of devices that can be supported using RS485 communications is 32.
The line should be terminated by a 120 ohm resistor.
8.2

Ethernet to EIA (RS)232

There are three groups of terminals on the I4X; the auxiliary voltage, the Ethernet port and
the RS232 port. These are shown in the table below:
I4X
Terminals
The maximum cable length between the I4X and the RS232 device is 3 meters.
8.3

Ethernet to EIA (RS)485

Status Indication: Power

On each I4X there is a single Power LED that indicates when there is an auxiliary supply
connected. The I4X uses a universal ac/dc power supply that can operate between 24 to
300V DC and 40 to 276V AC. The frequency range of the power supply is 40 to 70Hz.
