RS485 Biasing
Figures 4 through 7 illustrate the addition of resistors between the TX/RX (+) line and +V, and TX/RX (-) line and
ground. These resistors are called bias resistors. Bias resistors are inserted at one node only, preferably at one
extreme end of the network.
The TELEBYTE 245 is a “passive bias” unit in that when no device is communicating on the network, the data
lines float. With the addition of the Pull-Up and Pull –Down resistors, the line is biased when no device is driving
the lines. Biasing reduces the communication lines from being saturated with RFI or EMI induced noise from
being coupled on the line. Addition of biasing on the network reduces the induced noise on the line.
The typical utility installation is an electrically noisy environment. Addition of data line biasing is recommended.
RS485 Conductor Connectivity
The TELEBYTE unit uses the following pins for RS 485 communication:
PIN 2 - TX/RX (A) or TX/RX (-) or A
PIN 14- TX/RX (B) or TX/RX (+) or B
PIN 7 – GROUND
The TELEBYTE interface is a DB 25 FEMALE interface.
