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. 
Dip switch SW1 is used to control the RS-485 mode functions for the driver 
circuit. The selections are: 
‘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. 
‘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.
