RS-530/422/485 Line Termination 
Typically, each end of the RS-530/422/485 bus must have line-terminating resistors. A 120-ohm resistor is across 
each RS-530/422/485 input in addition to a 1K ohm pull-up/pull-down combination that biases the receiver inputs. 
The RS-530 specification calls for a 100-ohm 1/2-watt resistor between the signal ground and the chassis ground. 
On the IBM PC, these two grounds are already connected together, therefore this resistor is omitted.
