RS-485 bus
• The Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter does not provide electrical isolation between
the RS-485 bus and the transmitter power supply.
• Maintain a bus topology and minimize stub length.
• Figure 4-10 identifies multidrop wiring topology, where up to 32 devices may be wired
on one RS-485 bus.
• The RS-485 bus needs to be terminated once at each end, but should not be
terminated elsewhere on the bus.
