 CONNECTING HARDWARE

Crouzet Tutorial em4 master Millenium Evo slave April 2018 6

 Connecting hardware – Modbus network system

• Connection between em4 master interface and the slave, Millenium Evo, is done using a modbus
2 wire system:

• em4 master interface

88980122
with polarization

• Slave devices, Millenium

Evo or other Modbus slave
(1) Polarization resistors included with Modbus interface 88980122. Line end included with Modbus interfaces 88980122, 88980123 devices
LT (line end): capacitor 1 nF/10V and resistor 120 ohm/0,25 W in series

 Connecting hardware
– Polarised and none polarised interfaces

88980122 Master/Slave interface with polarization

Polarisation is required on Modbus RS485. Polarisation is usually provided
by the master but if it doesn’t a slave or an external device can provide the
polarisation for the network. Use this interface if your network has no
polarisation.

88980123 Master/Slave interface without polarisation

Use this interface if network polarisation as been already provided (by the
master, another slave or an external device)

 Connecting hardware

• Cable wirings between the em4 interface 88980122 and the Millenium Evo interface 88980123
(one slave).

Disconnect the power whenever inserting or extracting the em4 Modbus RS485 interface or communication cable!

Reminder of the set-up sequence:

• Insert USB programming interface, power up em4, transfer the associated program
• Insert USB programming interface in Millenium Evo, power up Millenium Evo, transfer the associated program
• Disconnect em4 and Millenium Evo, insert appropriate Modbus RS485 interface in em4 and Millenium Evo, connect assembled
communication cable, then power up em4 and Millenium Evo

Tick RS485 Modbus Interface,
then tick Modbus Master and set
the Modbus parameters*.
Then click on OK

*Modbus parameters (speed, stop bit, parity

and transmission mode) must be the same
for master and all slaves
