Rosemount 5300/5400 Series
1-8
Alternatively, the Rosemount 5300/5400 Series Transmitters can be installed 
as shown in Figure 1-5. If this wiring layout is used, there is an increased risk 
for communication disturbances due to differences in potential between 
grounding points. By using the same grounding point for Modbus Master and 
Power Supply, this risk is reduced.

Transmitters
Star Topology
For a Star Topology Connection of the 5300/5400 transmitters, the transmitter 
with the longest cable run needs to be fitted with a 120-
 termination resistor.
