Someone I know has a com problem with some equipments.
They are connected in a token ring pathern.
PC, PLCs and devices are sharing this RS485 network.
On on drop, they constantly loose communication.
The existing cable they use is a 25 pair CAT3 cable.
There supplyer has told them that the problem they had was cause by the fact that "Both SEND and RECEIVE wires are in the same cable."
That if they where to separate them the com problem would go away...
Does that make any sense to you guys?
