Hello Kyle,
I have two question that maybe you could help me out. The first one is the RS485 electric connection. At this point I’m not
sure about my connection. I’m connecting pin3 (green wire) of the sensor with pin 8 of the gateway, also I’m connecting pin 4 (yellow wire) of the sensor with pin 9 of the gateway. My doubt now is related with the signal ground of the gateway and the shield.
Sensor Connection:
Anybus Connection:
Also, checking the RS485 typical connection in your manual I found that there is a resistor (470R) between +5v and RS485+.
Could you clarify this connection for me?
Then other question that I have is related with the protocol. I change the subnetwork protocol from RS485 to RS232 and I connected a rs232 to usb converter
in the connector at the bottom of the Anybus. What I was trying to do was check to see the command from the Anybus with a serial monitor soft. However, I couldn’t see any activity of the port.
PLC(schneider) ----> Modbus RTU ---->
Anybus (Gateway) ---->RS232 ----> (Converter) ----> USB ---->

Is this ok? Should I see the command going out of the gateway?
Thank you in advance.
