Video Library Understanding EIA-485

Understanding EIA-485 Part 1: Introduction
TIA standard, general electrical characteristics and the various technologies that use EIA-485. (4:36)

Understanding EIA-485 Part 2: Termination and Bias
Terminating a data cable properly reduces reflections that could cause data errors. Correct bias assures that each device on the bus properly interfaces with the bus for reliable operation. (8:47)

Understanding EIA-485 Part 3: Connectors, Grounding and Protection
Review the importance of connectors as well as grounding, especially the distinct needs of two-wire and three-wire systems. (6:36)

Understanding EIA-485 Part 4: Cabling and Repeaters
Cables attenuate and distort signal, so cable selection depends on data rate, encoding, distance. Repeaters that use the data link protocol are more reliable than basic EIA-485 repeaters. (5:35)
