App Note: Handling Transient Threats in RS-485 Systems

For maximum reliability and availability, RS-485-based systems must have robust protection during installation (handling) and commissioning (miswiring) with the ability to protect against transient and surge threats.  RS-485 port interface data transfer requirements make effective circuit protection an essential requirement. Bourns’ application note provides a best practices approach with information designers need to implement a variety of rugged circuit protection solutions that meet the transient standards for RS-485 serial device ports.
