Fig 9.4 Practical application diagram of daisy-chain connection
Fig 9.5 shows the start connection diagram. When this connection mode is adopted, the two devices
that are farthest away from each other on the line must be connected with a terminal resistor (in Fig
9.5, the two devices are devices 1# and 15#).

Use shielded cable, if possible, in multi-device connection. The baud rates, data bit check settings,
and other basic parameters of all the devices on the RS485 line must be set consistently, and
addresses cannot be repeated.
9.3.2 RTU mode
9.3.2.1 RTU communication frame structure
When a controller is set to use the RTU communication mode on a Modbus network, every byte (8
bits) in the message includes 2 hexadecimal characters (each includes 4 bits). Compared with the
ASCII mode, the RTU mode can transmit more data with the same baud rate.
