Note

  • For RS485 wiring connections between the controllers and the Server PC, the Daisy Chain connection topology is the recommended wiring connection.
  • The address of the controller must be unique (ranging from '00' to '15'), I.e. no two controllers in the same RS485 connection network can have the same address.
  • Each RS485 network bus can support up to a maximum of 16 controllers.


Knowledge Base Link

Users can refer to How to Configure RS485 Address for XP-M2000i or XP-M2300i controller for instructions to configure the RS485 address for XP-M2000i / XP-M2300i controller.


Warning!

RS485 wiring connection using the Star topology may result in controller communication issues!
