RS-485 Enable Modes
RS-485 is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 requires a tri-state
driver that will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be removed from the
line. The driver is in a tri-state or high impedance condition when this occurs.
Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s) must be tri-stated.
The output modem control signal Request To Send (RTS) is typically used to
control the state of the driver. Some communication software packages refer to
RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer.

‘RS-422 Mode’ (Always). This is the factory default mode that ensures the
transmitter is always enabled. This mode is intended for Full Duplex applications
such as RS-422 or RS-485 4-wire Master mode where tri-state control of the
transmitter is not required.

such as RS-422 or RS-485 4-wire Master mode where tri-state control of the
transmitter is not required.
‘RS-485 Auto Mode’. This mode uses an onboard MicroChip PIC
microcontroller to sense the baud rate and control the transmitter enable signal
based on the detected baud rate. The logic assumes a minimum baud rate of
1200bps and a word length of 10 bits (1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit). For
baud rates of 38.4K or less, line turnaround should not exceed 4 bit times, 57.6K
should not exceed 10 bit times, and 115.2K should not exceed 20 bit times after
successfully autobauding.

‘RS-485 RTS Enable Mode’. The ‘RTS’ enable mode uses the ‘RTS’ modem
control signal to enable the RS-485 interface and provides backward
compatibility with existing software products. The serial driver should be used
and configured for ‘RTS’ control providing a robust RS-485 solution.

‘RS-485 Data Enable Mode’. The ‘Data’ enable mode uses the transmit data
stream to enable/disable the transmitter. When the data bit is High (logic 1), the
transmitter will be tri-stated and relies on the line biasing resistors to place the
line in the proper state. For this reason, line termination cannot be used thus
reducing the data rate and maximum cable length. This mode should only be used
in applications that prevent the use of the RS-485 Auto Mode or the serial driver.
