RS485 Serial Port
The RS485 port provides for communication between the
As the RS485 communication medium is shared, only one of the units on the RS485 cable may send data at any one time. Thus, communication protocols based on the
RS485 is a balanced, differential standard but it is recommended that shielded, twisted pair cable be used to interconnect modules to reduce potential RFI. It is important to maintain the polarity of the two RS485 wires. An RS485 network should be wired as indicated in the diagram below and terminated at each end of the network with a
