RS485 Connection Topology
RS485 bus connection topology is shown in the following figure. 485 bus is recommended to use shielded twisted pair (STP), 485+, 485-: Adopt twisted pair to connect; Only 120 Ω terminal matching resistors are connected at both ends of the bus to prevent signal reflection; All node 485 signal grounds are connected together; Connect 128 nodes at most, and the distance between branches of each node should be less than 3m.
Multi-node connection mode
When the number of nodes is large, 485 bus must be daisy chain connection. If branch connection is needed, the branch length from bus to node had better be short. It is recommended that it should not exceed 3m. Star connection should be forbidden. The diagram of common bus structure is as follows:
