RS485 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
If the RS485 network exceeds 100 metres in length or baud-rate over 9600 are
used, two terminating resistors are needed at the ends of the network. Two
120 ohm resistors must be connected between the + and
terminals of the
line, on the terminal strip of the furthest instruments
.
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 RS485 AND RS232 WITHOUT CONVERTER
Since a two-wire RS485 output may be used directly on the RS-232 input of a PC or remote display
or printer, it is possible to implement instrument connection to an RS-232 port in the following
manner:
INSTRUMENT
RS232
RS485
RXD
GND
GND
This type of connection allows A SINGLE instrument to be used in a ONE WAY
mode.
