5.RS485 SPECIFICATIONS
MIUXXXX/485 are 
| Features: | Point to Point | or Multidrop/Multipolling | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | Full or Half Duplex | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | Drivers are short - circuit current limited | & protected against excessive | ||||||
| 
 | power | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | dissipation (shutdown will places the drivers in a high - impedance state). | |||||||
| 
 | When Drivers are disabled (by TXD), | drivers | will switch to | high | ||||
| impedance | state. | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | Note in  | |||||||
| 
 | should be active | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | Receiver input impedance is 12K ohms. | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | ||
| 
 | Reduced slew- rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections | |||||||
| caused | by improperly | terminated cables | 
 | This | will | allow | error - | free | 
| transmitted | data up to 200Kbps | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | RS485/RS422 | standard covers line | lengths | up to | 4000 | feet. For | line | |
| lengths | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | greater than 4000 feet a line repeater | can be added. | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | MIUXXXX/485 can drive 4000 feet | of 26AWG twisted - pair cable at | ||||||
| 
 | 200k bps into 120 ohms load. | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |
To minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at both ends. In multi - polling/multi - drop environments (up to 32 drops) all drops off
themain cable should be as short as possible.
Only the Master/Host unit and the end of cable unit should be terminated.
Typical Speed versus Distance - 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | SPEED | DISTANCE | 
| 
 | 1200bps | 6.0 miles(9.6 km) | 
| 
 | 2400 bps | 4.5 miles (7.2 km) | 
| 
 | 4800 bps | 4.0 miles (5.5 km) | 
| 
 | 9600 bps | 2.5 miles (4.0 km) | 
| 
 | 19,200 bps | 1.8 miles (2.9 km) | 
| 
 | 38,400 bps | 1.4 miles (2.1 km) | 
| 
 | 56,400 bps | 1.1 miles (1.8 km) | 
| 
 | 115,000 bps | 0.6 miles (0.9 km) | 
NOTE: Speed and distances will depend on actual operating environment.
