The Schneider Electric TWDNOZ485D brings expanded serial connectivity to the Twido programmable logic controller family. This communication module adds a dedicated RS485 port through an integrated adaptor. Engineers can use this module to connect their Twido controller to various field devices. For instance, the TWDNOZ485D supports Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols for versatile industrial networking. Additionally, this compact accessory attaches directly to the side of a compatible modular base controller. Therefore, it saves valuable panel space while delivering reliable serial communication performance.
The TWDNOZ485D provides a robust RS485 serial communication interface for the Twido system. This module features an 8-pin mini DIN connector for the physical serial link. The connector type ensures compatibility with standard RS485 cabling solutions. Furthermore, the TWDNOZ485D supports two distinct communication modes. The module achieves a maximum baud rate of 19,200 bps for PC Link applications. Meanwhile, the Remote Link mode allows communication at up to 38,400 bps. Consequently, users can choose the appropriate speed for their specific networking needs. This module manages up to seven remote links in a single network. Moreover, it supports a maximum cable length of 200 meters between the base and the final remote device. The RS485 half-duplex communication design makes this module ideal for multi-drop networks.
The TWDNOZ485D works exclusively with Twido modular base controllers. Specifically, this module is compatible with the following controller models: TWDLMDA20DTK, TWDLMDA40DTK, TWDLMDA40DUK, TWDLMDA20DUK, and TWDLMDA20DRT. Schneider Electric classifies this unit as a separate part within the Twido accessory lineup. Therefore, users can order and install it independently of the main controller. The TWDNOZ485D integrates seamlessly with TwidoSuite configuration software. This software allows engineers to set communication parameters quickly and easily. Additionally, the module's compact design does not interfere with other expansion units. Users can add this communication module alongside other I/O or specialty modules. This flexibility makes the TWDNOZ485D a valuable addition to any Twido-based automation system.
The TWDNOZ485D features a rugged construction suitable for demanding industrial environments. Weighing only 0.187 lb (0.085 kg), this module adds minimal weight to the controller assembly. The compact dimensions ensure easy installation in crowded control cabinets. Specifically, the unit measures 3.03 inches in height, 4.1 inches in width, and 5.1 inches in length. The module operates reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C. Furthermore, it can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to +70°C without damage. The TWDNOZ485D also handles ambient humidity levels between 10% and 95% (non-condensing). This environmental tolerance ensures consistent performance in various factory conditions. Consequently, users can depend on this module for stable serial communication even in challenging settings.
Installing the TWDNOZ485D requires minimal time and no specialized tools. First, power off the Twido modular base controller completely. This step prevents any potential electrical issues during installation. Next, locate the dedicated expansion port on the side of the controller. Then, align the module's connector with the expansion port on the controller. Gently push the TWDNOZ485D into place until you hear a click. This click indicates a secure connection between the module and the controller. After the physical installation, power on the controller system. Finally, open the TwidoSuite software to configure the communication settings. Set the baud rate, parity, and protocol according to your network requirements. For long-distance RS485 networks, remember to install proper termination resistors. Always consult your network design specifications for termination guidelines.
