10.3.1.2 Multi-application
In the real multi-application, the chrysanthemum connection and star connection are commonly used.
Chrysanthemum chain connection is required in the RS485 industrial fieldbus standards. The two
ends are connected to terminal resistors of 120Ω which is shown as Figure 10-2. Figure 10-3 is the
simply connection figure and Figure 10-4 is the real application figure.
