7 Appendix Ⅱ About RS485 Bus

RS485 is semi duplex communication cable of impedance 120Ω. Its max load amount is 32

effective loads (including main control device and devices to be charged).

When we take 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair as communication cable, the max transmission

distance (theoretically) are listed below (according to different baud rates).

In the following situations, the max transmission distance shall become shorter accordingly:

The communication cable is a little bit thin;

The surrounding environment has strong electromagnetic interference;

There are too much devices connected to the RS485 bus;

And vice versa, the max transmission distance shall become longer.

1) RS485 bus requires all devices use the following connection methods. Both terminals shall

have 120Ωresistance. See Figure 7-1.

Or you can refer to for the simplified way as in Figure 7-2. But the distance between "D" shall not

exceed 7M.

Please refer to chapter 2.1 for 120Ω resistance information on the main board.
