3.11.3 RS485 network topology
Note:
In the picture above, the general network topology of RS485 is shown. N nodes are connected in a multipoint RS485
network. A termination resistance is necessary on both ends of the line to eliminate reflections. Use 120Ω resistors (R)
on both ends. The RS485 network must be designed as one line with multiple drops, not as a star.
