Important DH-485 Network Planning Considerations
Carefully plan your network configuration before installing any hardware.
Some of the factors that can affect system performance are:
•
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.
