RS485 
This is a half-duplex interface that provides combined TX and RX signals (TX+/RX+ 
and TX-/RX-). A ground connection is also required for this interface. The maximum 
cable length for this interface is the same as RS422 - 1200m (4000ft), but RS485 
supports up to 32 transmitters and receivers on a single network. Only one transmitter 
should be switched on at a time. The ZEUS uses the RTS# signal to control 
transmission. When this signal is at logic 1, the driver is switched off and data can be 
received from other devices. When the RTS# line is at logic 0, the driver is on. Any 
data transmitted from the ZEUS is automatically echoed back to the receiver. This 
enables the serial communications software to recognize that all data has been sent, 
and disable the transmitter when required. 
Typical RS422 and RS485 connection 
 
 
Only set U3_TERM# (U4_TERM#) at logic low if the ZEUS is at the end of the 
network.
