Appendix  4  RS485  Bus  Connection  

!

General  Property  of  RS485  Bus  

According  to  RS485  industry  bus  standard,  RS485  is  a  half-­‐duplex  communication  bus  which  has  120Ω  characteristic  
impendence,  the  maximum  load  ability  is  32  payloads  (including  controller  device  and  controlled  device).

RS485  Bus  Transmission  Distance  

When  using  0.56mm  (24AWG)  twisted-­‐pair  line,  according  to  different  baudrate,  the  maximum  transmission  distance  
theory  table  is  shown  as  below:

800m  

 

The  transmission  distance  will  be  decreased  if  we  use  the  thinner  cable,  or  use  this  product  under  the  strong  
electromagnetic  interference  situation,  or  there  are  lots  of  devices  are  added  to  the  bus;  on  the  contrary,  the  
transmission  distance  will  be  increased.  

!

Connection  Methods  
RS485  industry  bus  standard  require  daisy-­‐chain  connection  method  between  any  devices,  both  sides  have  to  
connect  a  120Ω  terminal  resistance  (show  as  Diagram  1),  the  simplified  connection  method  is  shown  as  diagram  2,  
but  the  distance  of  “D”  should  not  be  too  long.

Problems  in  the  Practical  Application  

Normally,  users  adopt  star-­‐shape  connection  method  in  construction,  under  this  situation,  the  terminal  resistors  must  
be  connected  between  two  farthest  devices  (as  Figure  A-­‐9,  1#  and  15#),  but  this  connection  method  is  not  satisfy  the  
requirement  of  the  RS485  industry  standard  so  that  it  will  lead  to  some  problems  such  as  signal  reflection,  anti-­‐jamming  
ability  decline  when  the  devices  are  faraway.  At  this  time,  the  dome  will  be  uncontrollable,  or  self-­‐running,  etc.
