    Figure 7: RS485 Bus Lines with Resistor Network 8.2 USB For remote control and communication with a host system the TMCM-1316 StepRocker provides a USB 2.0 full-speed (12Mbit/s) interface (mini-USB connector). As soon as a USB-Host is connected the module will accept commands via USB.
  • Page 17 Especially for longer busses and/or multiple nodes connected to the bus and/or high communication speeds, the bus should be properly terminated at both ends. The TMCM-1316 StepRocker does not integrate any termination resistor. Therefore, 120 Ohm termination resistors at both ends of the bus have to be added externally.
