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.
