RS485 Bus Main Feature
RS485 is semi duplex communication cable of impedance 120Ω. Its max load amount is 32 effective loads
(including main control device and devices to be charged).

Bus Transmission Distance
When we take 0.56mm (24AWG) twisted-pair as communication cable, the max transmission distance
(theoretically) are listed below (according to different baud rates).
In the following situations, the max transmission distance shall become shorter accordingly:
The communication cable is a little bit thin;
The surrounding environment has strong electromagnetic interference;
There are too much devices connected to the RS485 bus;
And vice versa, the max transmission distance shall become longer.

1) RS485 bus requires all devices use the following connection methods. Both terminals shall have 120Ω
resistance. See Figure 7-1.
