Configuring RS-485 terminations for RS, A and B serial communications
CONFIGURATION OF CPUM / IOCN CARDS
13.4Configuring RS-485 terminations for RS, A and B serial communications
For RS serial communications (RS-485 only), and A and B serial communications, jumpers
on the CPUM card and optional serial communications module are used to configure
terminations, as required. Each RS-485 differential pair can be terminated in one of six
different ways, for example, as shown in Figure 13-11 and Figure 13-12.

(a) Not terminated
Line driver connects directly to the
differential pair.
(b) Terminated
Differential pair is terminated with 120 Ω
resistance between the signal lines.
(c) Pulled inactive
Differential pair is pulled apart to mimic no
character being transmitted from UART.
(d) Pulled inactive and terminated
Differential pair is terminated with 120 Ω and
is pulled apart to mimic no character being
transmitted.
(e) Pulled active
Differential pair is pulled apart to mimic
UART sending a break condition.
(f) Pulled active and terminated
Differential pair is terminated with 120 Ω and
is pulled apart to mimic a break condition.
