Connection Methods TCP/IP
Connection Methods TCP/IP
Maximum distance between controller and switch, or switch and
pc = 100 meters
Unlimited amount of controllers may be used
Software may be used to monitor system locally on site, or off
site via the internet
Create a new TCP/IP network or make use of an existing network
Creating wireless networks may overcome issues where cable
cannot be laid
Connection Methods RS485
If a connection method of RS485 only is to be used then an ART.481 must be
used to convert USB at the PC end to RS485.
Connection Methods RS485
Up to 25 controllers
Maximum distance between Art.481 and furthest controller is 1km
Up 25 devices on a 1km BUS (controllers / BIOC readers and
Art.481 are all classed as devices)
A low capacitance 2 pair RS485 cable is recommended, such as
Beldon 9842 or equivalent
RS485 start and end of BUS must be terminated, and screen
must be connected to GND at one end only
RS485 hubs or repeaters may be used for larger distances or
additional controllers
