reduce electrical noise sensitivity. The value of each termination resistor should be
equal to the cable impedance (typically, 120 ohms for twisted pairs). Star and ring
topologies are not recommended because of signal reflections or excessively low or
high termination impedance.
Figure 2-9 shows the potentials of the '+' and '−' pins of an RS-485 line during
transmission of an RS-485 byte:
The table below illustrates a summary of the RS485 characteristic.
