resistor settings are shown in the table below.
Mode | PU Setting | PD Setting |
---|---|---|
RS-232 | Always Off | Always Off |
RS-422 | Always Off | Always Off |
RS-485 | Always On | Always On |
Line Termination
A 120-ohm resistor is across each RS-422/485 input. If multiple devices are
configured in an RS-485 network, only the devices on each end should have the
termination in place.
Termination configuration is software selectable for both full- and half-
duplex RS-485. By default, line termination is disabled, and this
configuration can be set by placing a check next to ‘Enable Termination’ in
the ‘RS-485 Advanced Configuration’ field, as shown in the image below.
Electrical Specifications
ECHO
The RS-485 ‘Echo’ is the result of connecting the receiver inputs to the
transmitter outputs. Each time a character is transmitted; it is also
received. This can be beneficial if the software can handle echoing (i.e.,
using received characters to throttle the transmitter), but it can also
confuse the system if the software cannot support echoing.
Echo configuration is software selectable for half-duplex RS-485. By default,
ECHO is disabled, and this configuration can be set by placing a check next to
‘Enable Echo’ in the ‘RS-485 Advanced Configuration’ field, as pictured below.

Appendix C – Electrical Interface
RS-232
Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This
implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often
referred to as RS-232 or EIA/TIA-232. The IBM PC computer defined the RS-232
port on a 9 pin D sub connector and subsequently the EIA/TIA approved this
implementation as the EIA/TIA-574 standard. This standard is defined as the
9-Position Non-Synchronous Interface between Data Terminal Equipment and Data
Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange. Both
implementations are in widespread use and will be referred to as RS-232 in
this document. RS-232 is capable of operating at data rates up to 20 Kbps at
distances less than 50 ft. The absolute maximum data rate may vary due to line
conditions and cable lengths. RS-232 is a single ended or unbalanced
interface, meaning that a single electrical signal is compared to a common
signal (ground) to determine binary logic states. The RS-232 and the
EIA/TIA-574 specification define two types of interface circuits, Data
Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The
IC485+ is a DCE device.
RS-422
The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced
voltage digital interface circuits. RS-422 is a differential interface that
defines voltage levels and driver/receiver electrical specifications. On a
differential interface, logic levels are defined by the difference in voltage
between a pair of outputs or inputs. In contrast, a single ended interface,
for example RS-232, defines the logic levels as the difference in voltage
between a single signal and a common ground connection. Differential
interfaces are typically more immune to noise or voltage spikes that may occur
on the communication lines. Differential interfaces also have greater drive
capabilities that allow for longer cable lengths. RS-422 is rated up to 10
Megabits per second and can have cabling 4000 feet long. RS-422 also defines
driver and receiver electrical characteristics that will allow 1 driver and up
to 32 receivers on the line at once. RS-422 signal levels range from 0 to +5
volts. RS-422 does not define a physical connector.
RS-485
RS-485 is backwardly compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for
party line or multi-drop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is
capable of being Active (enabled) or Tri-State (disabled). This capability
allows multiple ports to be connected in a multi-drop bus and selectively
polled. RS-485 allows cable lengths up to 4000 feet and data rates up to 10
Megabits per second. The signal levels for RS-485 are the same as those
defined by RS-422. RS-485 has electrical characteristics that allow for 32
drivers and 32 receivers to be connected to one line. This interface is ideal
for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 tri-state driver (not dual-
state) will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be removed from the
line. Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s) must be
tri-stated. RS-485 can be cabled in two ways, two wire and four wire mode. Two
wire mode does not allow for full duplex communication and requires that data
be transferred in only one direction at a time. For half-duplex operation, the
two transmit pins should be connected to the two receive pins (Tx+ to Rx+ and
Tx- to Rx-). Four wire mode allows full duplex data transfers. RS-485 does not
define a connector pin-out or a set of modem control signals. RS-485 does not
define a physical connector.
Appendix D – Asynchronous Communications
Serial data communications implies that individual bits of a character are
transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a
character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing
(start/stop bits) are pre-defined and must correspond at both the transmitting
and receiving ends.
Asynchronous communications is the standard means of serial data communication
for PC compatibles and PS/2 computers. The original PC was equipped with a
communication or COM: port that was designed around an 8250 Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART). This device allows asynchronous
serial data to be transferred through a simple and straightforward programming
interface. A start bit, followed by a pre-defined number of data bits (5, 6,
7, or 8) defines character boundaries for asynchronous communications. The end
of the character is defined by the transmission of a pre-defined number of
stop bits (usually 1, 1.5 or 2). An extra bit used for error detection is
often appended before the stop bits.
This special bit is called the parity bit. Parity is a simple method of determining if a data bit has been lost or corrupted during transmission. There are several methods for implementing a parity check to guard against data corruption. Common methods are called (E)ven Parity or (O)dd Parity. Sometimes parity is not used to detect errors on the data stream. This is referred to as (N)o parity. Because each bit in asynchronous communications is sent consecutively, it is easy to generalize asynchronous communications by stating that each character is wrapped (framed) by pre-defined bits to mark the beginning and end of the serial transmission of the character. The data rate and communication parameters for asynchronous communications have to be the same at both the transmitting and receiving ends. The communication parameters are baud rate, parity, number of data bits per character, and stop bits (i.e., 9600, N, 8, 1).
