Appendix 2 RS-485 Bus Connection
•
General Property of RS-485 Bus
According to RS-485 industry bus standard, RS-485 is a half-duplex communication bus that has 120 Ω
characteristic impendence. The maximum load ability is 32 payloads (including controller device and
controlled device).
•
RS-485 Bus Transmission Distance
When using 0.56 mm (24 AWG) twisted-pair line, according to different baud rate, the maximum
transmission distance theory table is shown as below:
Table A-1 Maximum Distance of RS-485 Transmission
Baud Rate
Maximum Distance
2400 bps
1800 m
4800 bps
1200 m
9600 bps
800 m
The transmission distance will be decreased if we use thinner cable, use this product under a strong
electromagnetic interference situation, or lots of devices are added to the bus; on the contrary, the
transmission distance will be increased.
•
Connection Methods
RS-485 industry bus standard requires a daisy-chain connection method between devices, both sides
have to connect a 120 Ω terminal resistance (shown as Diagram 1). A simplified connection method is
shown in Diagram 2, but the distance of “D” should not be too long.
