9. 6. Creating a Modbus bus using non-standard equipment
bDifferent scenarios
MIf the Modbus bus is created using the
MIf a new Modbus bus has to be created using devices of different brands or
MIf, on an existing Modbus bus, a device with 4.7 kΩ polarization is to be replaced by a
Polarization switches:
4.7 kΩ RS485 line polarization at drive level
bRecommendations
1.Identify the polarities D0 and D1.
They are labeled in different ways depending on the standard:

However, certain RS485 electronic components are labeled in the opposite way to the
It may be necessary to perform a test by connecting a master to a slave, then reversing the connection in the event of failure.
2.Check polarizations
Check the documentation supplied with the devices to determine their polarization.
If there is a polarization, check that the equivalent polarization value is correct (see "Calculating the polarization").
It is not always possible to implement correct polarization (for example, if the 5 V is not available on the master). In this case, it may be necessary to limit the number of slaves.
3.Choose a line terminator
If there is a polarization, select an RC line terminator (R = 120 Ω, C = 1 nF)
If it is not possible to install a polarization, select an R line terminator (R = 150 Ω).
