Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the module is properly seated within the CX2030 system housing to maintain bus contact.
• Use a shielded 9-pin D-sub cable to connect serial devices, ensuring proper pin assignment for the RS485 signal.
• Verify serial network settings (baud rate, parity, etc.) in the TwinCAT system manager to match the connected field device.
• Avoid routing serial communication cables parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.
