MODBUS physical interface
This product implements the MODBUS RTU protocol standard over an RS485 interface. The RS485
interface is accessible via the RJ45 connector on the bottom of the power supply unit. Pin connections
follow the official guidelines of the Modbus Organisation. Pin connections as follows, colour codes used for
standard T-568A and T-568B varieties of network cable are included for reference.
