In RS-232 mode, ports transmit to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) devices on pin 2 and receive from DTE devices on pin 3.
Each RS-485 port can communicate with multiple RS-485 devices by wiring devices together in sequence over a
single twisted-pair with transmit and receive signals on the same two wires (half duplex). For reliable, continuous
communication, adhere to the following guidelines:
To minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise, use shielded cabling.
The correct polarity must be observed throughout a single sequence or ring.
The number of devices wired should not exceed 32, and total distance should be less than 1219 m (4000 ft) at
100 kbps.
The Common terminals should be connected to the common wire inside the shield.
The shield should be connected to earth ground at a single point to avoid loop currents.
The twisted pair should be terminated at each end of the chain.
The following shows the recommended RS485 wiring.
