Connection of serial interfaces
Transfer lines connecting the serial interfaces must be installed so that induc
tive and capacitive interference from other lines, machines or electrical devices
is ruled out. Interference on data transfer could result in delays or in the pro
gram stopping.
To ensure optimal interference suppression of all injected frequencies, the
shield should be applied on both sides.
In the event of fluctuations in ground potential, a compensating current may
flow via the double-sided shield. In this case an additional equipotential bond
ing line must be laid.
Important
Terminal designation: Some manufacturers of components with RS485 ports
designate the terminals differently. According to the standard, the TxD+ / RxD+
port is designated 'B' and the TxD– / RxD– port 'A'.
