Figure 1 shows an example of a correct Bus connection. If we want to connect a PC with an Unitronics PLC, for example for programming or debugging reasons, we need a connection cable which is on one side fitted with a female DB9 connector, and on the other side with an RJ11 jack. The RS485 system used for Modbus communication provides a main cable (Bus or backbone), to which all the devices have to be connected with branches (also known as stubs) that are as short as possible. This distance does not include the branches (which must nevertheless be short). Care must be taken when using A/B naming. Using a repeater, the main cable is divided into different segments, each of which can be up to 700 m in length and connect 32 devices (this number includes the repeaters). By using repeaters very large RS-485 networks can be formed. TSB-89A, Application Guidelines for TIA/EIA-485-A does not recommend using star topology. The foreword to the standard references The Telecommunications Systems Bulletin TSB-89 which contains application guidelines, including data signaling rate vs. RS-485 is used as the physical layer underlying many standard and proprietary automation protocols used to implement industrial control systems, including the most common versions of Modbus and Profibus.

The maximum number of devices that can be connected to a main cable is 32, including the Master. This robustness is the main reason why RS-485 is well suited for long-distance networking in noisy environment. RS485 interface gives some more benefits compared to RS232: simplicity and the robustness for long distance transfer. RS485 is in its design a different interface from RS232. The only way to add RS232 capabilities to the Jazz PLCs is by using the MJ20-PRG programming port add-on module. The diagram below shows potentials of the A (blue) and B (red) pins of an RS-485 line during transmission of one byte (0xD3, least significant bit first) of data using an asynchronous start-stop method. The diagram below shows a basic RS485 cable for use with the RJ11 socket on Unitronics PLCs. For RS232 a crossover cable is used where pin 1 is connected with pin 6 at the other connector, pin 2 with pin 5, etc. This interconnects the transmit and receive signals of both PLCs, and also the handshaking signals DTR and DSR. On some PLC models it is possible to mix RS232 and RS485 communications. Can I mix Laureate LT transmitters and meters on the same RS485 line?

Laureate meters are modular with a middle slot reserved for a communication board, as illustrated in our Laureates Overview web page. What communication protocols are supported by RS485? In order to increase the extent of the Modbus network, repeaters can be used; and signal amplifying and regenerating devices provided with two communication ports that transfer to each what they receive from the other. If a star configuration is unavoidable, special RS-485 repeaters are available which bidirectionally listen for data on each span and then retransmit the data onto all other spans. B then it is counted as a space (0 or on). This has thick stone walls and a concrete ceiling and has space to install 2 inverters and a battery system later if required. Because a mark (logic 1) condition is traditionally represented (e.g. in RS-232) with a negative voltage and space (logic 0) represented with a positive one, A may be considered the non-inverting signal and B as inverting. This section also defines the logic states 1 (off) and 0 (on), by the polarity between A and B terminals. All the ‘A’ terminals must be connected together and all the ‘B’ terminals must be connected together respectively.

The cable shield must be earthed only in one point. The two values provide a sufficient margin for a reliable data transmission even under severe signal degradation across the cable and connectors. Although many applications use RS-485 signal levels, the speed, format, and protocol of the data transmission are not specified by RS-485. The adapter was placed under the microscope, and we traced the data A & B lines from the plug to the RS485 chip on the PCB. This way, the lines will be biased to known voltages and nodes will not interpret the noise from undriven lines as actual data; without biasing resistors, the data lines float in such a way that electrical noise sensitivity is greatest when all device stations are silent or unpowered. How fast can I collect data via RS485? With Modbus RTU, sending and receiving are never simultaneous, so half duplex is as fast as full duplex. The probes communicate using the standard Modbus RTU protocol. Bus Probes can be configured and tested using our web-based test app (you will need to connect the probes to your PC or Android smartphone via our Web485 board).
