SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
RS-485/RF I/O Channel Converter (continued)
Use the following instructions to install cables for the PPX:505–6860:
NOTE: Since 545–1104, –1106, 555–1103, –1104, –1105, –1106 and
575–2104, –2105, –2106 CPUs use RS-485 cabling, the RS-485/RF I/O
channel converter is only needed if you are connecting the CPU to an RF
remote base. The CPU can be connected directly to an RS-485 remote base.
1. Use an RS-485 cable to connect the CPU’s RS-485 I/O port to the
converter’s RS-485 I/O port.
The cable should be as short as possible. You cannot connect any other
devices on this RS-485 cable; it is not possible to operate an RS-485 I/O
link with an RF converter and RF link. Notice that the connection
requires two twisted, shielded pairs with 9-pin, subminiature, male
D-connectors at each end, rather than the single pair cable that is used
for an RS-485 Series 505 remote I/O channel.
Suggested cable types include the following:
Alpha #5472 2TP w/shield 24 AWG
Belden #9502 2TP w/shield 24 AWG
Table C-4 shows the pinout specifications for the cable that connects
from the CPU to the RS-485/RF I/O channel converter. Pair like-named
signals 3 and 8, and 4 and 9.
