The receiver is also protected against the temporary application of 24VAC and against tran-
sients. However, such events will interrupt data reception.
Common Mode Noise Rejection
Noise induced onto the conductors of the data bus cable will be common to both Net + and
Net - data bus wires - that is to say, the noise will be of the same amplitude and polarity as the
conductors in the cable are so close together. For this reason the EIA-485 data bus is differen-
tial data bus. The receiver nulls out common mode induced noise picked up on the data bus
wire by subtracting the negative input from the positive input. This greatly reduces the impact
that induced noise has on the data bus.
