A.4 Modbus serial network interface
The Modbus serial network is based on an RS-485 physical layer.
A.4.1
Bias resistors
When idle, RS-485 enters an indeterminate state, which may cause the serial receivers to
pick up noise from the serial lines and interpret this as data. To prevent this, the serial lines
should be forced into a known state using pull-up and pull-down resistors, commonly
known as bias resistors.
