Will Rs485 Cable Ever Die?

The technique was invented decades ago, and allowed you to connect to a few dozen MODBUS devices over simple twisted pair copper wire, over a thousand feet distance or more. Each RS422 driver transmits a differential pair of output signals at 0 and 5 volts. This automatically activates the SCK clock which synchronously transmits the data. Although data byte transfers are easily executed once the network has been wired and configured properly, a carefully executed software protocol may be required to ensure data integrity. If your application requires RS485, use the primary serial port (serial1) for RS485 communications, and use the secondary serial port (Serial 2) to program and debug your application code using the RS232 protocol. It is supported by virtually all personal computers, and is the default protocol for both of the QScreen Controller’s serial ports. The QScreen Controller’s transmit data signal TxD1 (pin 2 on the 9-pin serial connector) is connected to the terminal’s receive data signal RxD (pin 2 on its 9-pin connector).
UART is an Asynchronous transmission device hence there is no clock signal to sync the data between the two devices instead it uses start and stop bits at the start and end of each data packet respectively to mark the extremities of the data being transferred. For display you divide by 100, and automatically get two digits of precision. The QScreen Controller combines an embedded computer based on the 68HC11 microcontroller with a touch panel and LCD (liquid crystal display) graphic user interface (GUI) that is ideal for instrument control and automation. After looking at all your links, I do not believe there is an actual Ethernet interface at all. Do play around with transfer speed on your own and give a try to other ethernet cable types too. There are many categories of Ethernet cables we can use like CAT-4, CAT-5, CAT-5E, CAT-6, CAT-6A, etc. In our tutorial, we are going to use CAT-6E cable which has 4 twisted pairs of 24AWG wires and can support up to 600MHz. It is terminated at both ends by an RJ45 connector. It does mean the library is harder to use.
It appears from the diagram that in this case, you're to use shielded cable, and the GND connection on each adapter board is to be connected to shield, which would then be connected to ground somewhere. A ground connection is also necessary to ensure that the communicating devices have a common voltage reference. Since both channels can operate simultaneously and independently, debugging can be performed while the application program is communicating via its primary channel. A write collision occurs when a byte is written to the SPI data register, SPDR, while data is being exchanged. We set up a buffer to receive data from the MODBUS device. On connecting the device to a USB port, the Linux/Unix kernel will scan the device and figure out what it is. It's just a matter of connecting to that jumper pin using an extension cord. Since Pi's built-in UARTs don't support the RS485 standard, I'm using the USB-RS485-WE-1800-BT FTDI cable. Running MODBUS/RTU over an RS485 network is pretty cool, in an old-school way. The device requires a 5 volt power supply, and the simplest way to get that power is via the jumper on the adapter board.
Resistive termination - If the PDQ Board is at the end of the RS485 cable you can terminate the cable by installing jumper caps at both jumper locations, "Term" and "RTerm". Check out also our article about BIAS and TERMINATION resistors. Star and ring topologies are not recommended because of signal reflections or excessively low or high termination impedance. The recommended arrangement of the wires is as a connected series of point-to-point (multidropped) nodes, i.e. a line or bus, not a star, ring, or multiply connected network. Typical line voltage levels from the line drivers are a minimum of ±1.5 V to a maximum of about ±6 V. Receiver input sensitivity is ±200 mV. The last line says the device name, in this case /dev/ttyUSB1. These pictures show details of wiring the USB-to-RS485 adapter with this particular MODBUS device. The software has to connect through that device, and most of the details are automatically taken care of for you. Then you connect to the device, minimalmodbus.Instrument, and interact with it using the API. 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).
