Recommended Termination of the RS485 Interface (Connector J)
The RS485 bus requires at least the bus termination shown in the figure below, with pull-up/pull-down resistors:
Figure 14-1
Termination of the RS485 Interface
The bus termination must be respectively carried out at the first and last RS485 device interface of the bus. No
terminating resistor may be used at all other devices in this line.
Siemens recommends the use of a bus termination plug with integrated (activatable) resistors in accordance
with figure 14-1, for example plugs with 35°-cable outlet type 6ES7972-0BA42-0XA0. Use a 2-wired, twisted
and shielded cable (see chapter 2.2). In case of outdoor assembly Siemens recommends a rodent protection.
You can find current installation material at SIEMENS IS in the "Catalog for Industrial Communication", chapter
"PROFIBUS", see also:
