How to set up RS485 bus network? Complete wiring solution for multiple flowmeters RS485 connection
RS485 bus networking solution for multiple Ecolor flowmeters centralized monitoring system
RS485 bus networking is the mainstream solution for multi-device communication in industrial applications, particularly suitable for centralized monitoring of electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters and other instruments. All Ecolor Technology flowmeter products support standard RS485 interface.
Key points for RS485 networking:
- Use twisted pair cables with maximum transmission distance of 1200 meters
- Bus topology structure supporting up to 32 devices
- Each device requires unique address setting (1-247)
- 120Ω termination resistors required at both ends of the bus
- Unified baud rate and communication protocol (Modbus RTU)
Our LGF electromagnetic flowmeters and HZ-KSLF radar flowmeters feature built-in RS485 interfaces. Combined with EC32 RTU terminals, they enable 4G wireless data transmission, providing complete IoT solutions for water management applications.
