Use a three‑conductor shielded cable to connect the RS485 bus, with the three
conductors connected to 485+, 485‑, and GND (GND represents non‑isolated RS485
circuit) respectively. Connect 485+ and 485‑ with two conductors twisted together
and connect the remaining conductor to RS485 reference ground. Connect the shield
to the device ground PE. Connect a 120 Ω termination resistor on each end of the bus
to prevent RS485 signal reflection.

In case of a large number of nodes, connect the RS485 bus with the daisy chain mode.
Connect the reference grounds of RS485 signals of all the nodes (up to 128 nodes)
together.
