BACnet MSTP

The document discusses the BACnet MS/TP protocol for transmitting BACnet data over EIA-485 networks. It covers the MS/TP packet structure, receive frame state machine, master and slave node state machines, timing considerations, and MAC addressing. Key aspects include the use of a preamble, frame type, addresses, length and CRC fields in packets, and state machines for receive processing and controlling the token passing between master and slave nodes.

This may not be the ideal circuit for EIA-485. There has been much debate in the BACnet MS/TP working group about it.
