Installation Instructions

These instructions describe the installation of a
PPX:505–6860 RS-485/RF I/O Channel
Converter in the SIMATIC



 505 programmable

controller system.

The PPX:505–6860 converter allows the use of
coaxial cables in a 505 system (extending the
maximum distance to 4 km) by converting the
RS-485 interface to an RF interface. This also
permits use of dual media from a 545/555 to the
I/O bases.

Installing a PPX:505–6860 converter also
allows you to update an existing 560/565
system, that is already using coaxial cables,
with a 545/555 and 575 CPU providing the
advantages of greater speed, dual media, and
greater remote distance.
