RS-485
•
Please use a shielded twist pair cable. (Recommended cable: KPEV-SB (made by The Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.))
•
The maximum cable length should be 500m. One master and up to thirty-one micro controllers (slaves) can be connected per
circuit.
•
Te r minate both ends of the circuit with a terminating resistance of 100
Ω
(1/2W or more).
•
Ground the shielded cable once towards the master side.
•
SG does not have to be connected, but it can be used as an effective countermeasure against communication errors due to
noise.
