3.1.5 Configuring electrical networks with RS-485 repeaters
RS-485 repeater
To increase the number of nodes (>32) in a network or to extend the cable length between
two nodes, segments can be connected together using RS485 repeaters to form a network.
The following figure shows a possible combination of several segments using repeaters to
form a network.
The RS-485 repeaters support all transmission speeds from 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps.
