Communications Wiring
Figure 8.12a — EIA/TIA 485 and EIA/TIA 232 Communications
Figure 8.12b — Termination for EIA-232 to EIA-485 Converter
If the system does not work properly, it may need termination resistors at each
end of the network. A typical installation would require a 120-ohm resistor
across the transmit/receive terminals (12 and 13) of the last controller in the
network and the converter box or serial card. Pull-up and pull-down 1k ohm
resistors may be needed on the first unit to maintain the correct voltage during
the idle state.
