Abstract
This is a code fragment that I use for doing DH-485 comms between processors. The MSG instructions are cascaded to allow the fastest possible updates without worrying about a having failed MSG's clog up the channels and stop / slow down the rest of the MSG's to other machines. This is on a small (4 node) production line, but it could scale to whatever amount needed. Note that on larger networks, it may be better to keep two or three loops going at once.
