1. The termination resistor can be connected only at two ends of the bus.
When the resistance of the RS485 bus measured by the multimeter is about 60 Ω (all devices must power
off during measurement), the bus is normal. If the measured resistance is lower than 50 Ω, check two
ends of the bus, and check whether another resistor is added; if yes, disconnect this one. If the measured
resistance is 0 Ω, check whether short circuit exists or a node is damaged.
