Page 6: Rs485
Installation/Cabling RS485 Connections RS-485 Is a half duplex serial communications link and is the standard most commonly used for industrial applications due to it's high noise immunity and multi-drop capability. It enables a PC to communicate with up to 128 instruments over distances up to 1200 metres, and requires the addition of an RS-485 interface card, or a separate RS-232/485 converter. -
Page 7: Termination Resistors
Installation/Cabling Each RS485 interface has specific connection and termination biasing requirements which will be detailed in their installation instructions. The general principles are as follows. Terminations Because each wire is a transmission line, it must be properly terminated to prevent reflections. Where multiple instruments are daisy-chained together, a 120 ohm terminating resistor should be fitted at the connection to the PC and to the last instrument in the chain. -
