EIA / TIA-485 wiring notes continued:
-
The bus common must be connected directly to protective ground / earth at one point
only. Generally this point is at or near the master device.
-
Consider terminating the two furthest ends of the bus to match the transmission line
impedance. A 150 ohm (0.5 W) resistor or a 120 ohm (0.25 W) resistor, in series with a
1 nF (10 V) capacitor is commonly used, but ideally the line impedance should be matched
to each individual installation. Termination for short lengths of cable should not be
necessary < 300 m (< 1 000 ft) @ 9 600 Baud.
