Multi-node connection
When the number of nodes is large
,
the RS485 bus uses the daisy chain connection mode. If branch
cables need to be connected
,
you are advised to keep the branch cable length between the bus and the
node shorter than 3 m. Do not use the star-shaped connection mode. The following gure shows the
common bus structure:
