Tips for Isolating RS-485
 
Isolating RS-485 reduces noise, eliminates ground loops, and improves safety. RS-485 networks aren't difficult if you keep a few tips in mind:
  • Keep stubs short
  • Use twisted-pair cable
  • Shielding for long or fast busses
  • Ground one end of the shield
  • Terminate bus ends
  • Bias for fail-safe
  • Use isolators, of course!
