8. COMMUNICATION

8.2. RS485 rules
A LIYCY shielded twisted pair must be used. We recommend using a shielded twisted pair with a general LIYCY-CY
shielding in an environment where there is interference or in a very long network with a number of products.
If the distance of 1,200 m is exceeded and/or the number of products is greater than 32, a repeater must be added
to enable additional products to be connected.
A 120 Ohm resistor must be xed at both ends of the connection.
