Technologies for RS-485 Ports
In the development of today’s process control architectures and closed-loop systems there are
numerous serial drops using point to point, multi-drop or multipoint systems. The distances
between serial drops can range from several hundred meters to over a thousand meters. Using
data transfer protocols such as LVDS, TIA/EIA-232, TIA/EIA-422, TIA/EIA-485, field buses,
CAN, Profibus, and Interbus enables the communication among the various remote devices such
as sensors, actuators or monitors connected throughout the system. RS-485 is one of the most
common interface standards, and due to their prevalence in industrial settings RS-485 systems
TBU-CA065-100-WH
must be capable of operating in very noisy and harsh electrical environments. In order to avoid
damage and overload of the system, the use of robust and reliable circuit protection is required.
This application note describes the need for circuit protection on RS-485 serial device ports,
and introduces a solution using Bourns® TBU® High-Speed Protector (HSP), Gas Discharge
Tube (GDT) and Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) products to meet the required industry
standards on RS-485 port interfaces.

Introduction to RS-485
RS-485 is a standard communication network for industrial communications, and features
fast data rates achieving 35 Mbps for short distances and 100 kbps over longer distances.
When covering longer distances, it is not unusual to encounter miswiring and short-circuit
faults. Transients and surges also can be generated by induced energy on the data lines due
to environmental conditions or switching of heavy inductive loads. Any of these issues can
seriously affect the data transfer performance on the serial port. One common application of
RS-485 that illustrates its sensitivity is an elevator control system. With cables in motion and
large motors and inductors in proximity, rugged communication systems are required. RS-485 is
also commonly deployed in building automation, security system controls, and other industrial
CDSOT23-SM712
communication applications.
RS-485 systems are inherently more robust than many other networks because the signal is
delivered differentially between two wires relative to a third reference voltage. The reference
voltage is often, but not always, the local earth potential. This provides substantial immunity to
common mode noise such as ground noise and induced noise from nearby motors, solenoids
and transformers. The interface uses voltages that are high by communication system standards,
also making it more robust than networks using other protocols. For instance, Ethernet signals
are about 2 V, though much internal communication in a computer is even lower, and the
popular USB standard communicates at a maximum of 5 V. RS-485, on the other hand, allows
for common mode voltages from -7 volts to +12 volts. Voltage drop between distant nodes can
be accommodated without adding expensive equipment along the path.
