Important DH-485 Network Planning Considerations
Carefully plan your network configuration before installing any
hardware. Listed below are some of the factors that can affect system
performance:
•
amount of electrical noise, temperature, and humidity in the
network environment
•
number of devices on the network
•
connection and grounding quality in installation
•
amount of communication traffic on the network
•
type of process being controlled
•
network configuration
The major hardware and software issues you need to resolve before
installing a network are discussed in the following sections.
