RS485 Connection 

RS485 uses half duplex differential signalling: there is just one pair of wires, which is used for both transmit and receive. 

Be sure to observe the correct signal polarity, as shown in the diagram. Some devices label their terminals as A or B, 

some as + or –. 
Notice that with RS485, all devices including the DT80 are wired symmetrically: there is no distinction between "master" 

and "slave", at least from a wiring perspective. 
An RS485 network should normally be cabled as a single linear "backbone", with relatively short "stub" connections to 

each device. For long cable runs or high baud rates a 100

Ω

 termination resistor at each end of the main cable is 

recommended.

Configuring the Serial Sensor Port 

The following parameters need to be set for the serial sensor port: 

•

  port mode (RS232, RS422 or RS485) – default is RS232. 

•

  baud rate (data transfer rate in bits per second) – default is 1200. 

•

  serial framing format (number of data bits, parity type, number of stop bits) – default is "N,8,1", i.e. no parity, 8 

data bits, 1 stop bit. 

•

  flow control (mechanism for one computer to tell the other to stop sending) – default is no flow control 

•

  port function (protocol to be used: command, PPP, Modbus or generic serial) – default is generic serial 

PROFILE Settings 

To view the current serial sensor port settings use the following command:

which lists the current baud rate, framing format, flow control, port mode and port function. An asterisk indicates a non-
