Fonctions
The optional Communication module must be connec-
ted to the DIRIS A20 (ref. 485 0A0, 485 000,
4825 0A20UL). It provides an RS485 serial link (2 or
3 wires) with JBUS/MODBUS
DIRIS A20 from a PC or PLC.

Recommendations:
You should use a shielded twisted pair (LIYCY type).
In a disturbed environment or large network (in
terms of length) we recommend the use of a shield-
ed twisted pair (type LIYCY-CY).
A repeater (1 channel) or an arrestor (4 channels)
should be used if you intend to exceed the dis-
tance (1200 m) and/or maximum number (31) of
DIRIS. Please contact us for more information. For
more information on how to make the connections,
