Hello, colleagues.
I need to test roughly a RS485 driver load capacity, since a protective barrier is used on its output. My idea is to test its communication with something (a device generating data) by inserting two resistors equal to expected summarized load of the rest of the channel into each wire (a and b) in series. That would be 375 ohms per wire for full 32 unit loads, 400 ohms for 30 unit loads, etc. Is this a correct way, or I'm missing something here?
ANY response will be appreciated.
