Terminating Resistance Setting
• The terminating resistance of the V7 series should be set on the DIP switch.
• When the PLC and the master station are connected via RS-422/485, set the
terminating resistance at the PLC and the master station (CN1).
• When the V7 series (master and slave stations) are connected via RS-485 (2-wire), set
the terminating resistance at the V7 series master station (MJ1/2) and the terminating
slave station (CN1).
