MODBUS-RTU network structure
A RS485 line allows the association of a PLC (master node) to 31 devices (slave nodes) over a maximum of 1200 meters
MODBUS-RTU protocol provides addressing capacity for up to 247 Inputs, also, it's possible to use repeaters to connect
several lines and automate up to 247 actuators over a greater distance.
