B.4.6.2 RS-485
The Prototyping Board has one RS-485 serial channel, which is connected to the Rabbit
3000 Serial Port C through an RS-485 transceiver. The half-duplex communication uses
an output from PD7 on the Rabbit 3000 to control the transmit enable on the communica-
tion line. Using this scheme a strict master/slave relationship must exist between devices
to insure that no two devices attempt to drive the bus simultaneously.
Serial Port C is configured in software for RS-485 as follows.
The configuration shown above is based on circular buffers. RS-485 configuration may
also be done using functions from the
The Prototyping Boards with RCM3900 modules installed can be used in an RS-485 multi-
drop network spanning up to 1200 m (4000 ft), and there can be as many as 32 attached
devices. Connect the 485+ to 485+ and 485– to 485– using single twisted-pair wires as
shown in Figure B-8. Note that a common ground is recommended.
