RS-485 Serial Communication
Figure 2-4. RS-485 Serial Communications
Note
If the RS-485 network exceeds 100 meters in length or a baud rate over 9600 is used, close the two jumpers, called
RS-485 termination, to activate two 120 ohm terminating resistors between the ‘+’ and ‘–’ terminals of the line, on the
terminal strip of the furthest instrument. Should there be different instruments or converters, refer to the specific
manuals to determine whether it is necessary to connect the above-mentioned resistors.
Direct Connection Between RS-485 And RS-232 Without Converter
Since a two-wire RS-485 output may be used directly on the RS-232 input of a PC or remote display, it is possible to implement
instrument connection to an RS-232 port in the following manner:
