PCI Communication User Manual 16
2.3.3.4 Termination Setup (for PCI-1602B/1602C/1612B/1612C/1622B/1622C)
If necessary, you can set termination resistors to match the impedance. Each signal
line (Tx, Rx) has a separate resistor.
Termination is recommended for when designing an RS-422 interface. RS422 Mode
with a terminator resistor is 120 Ω under standard conditions. However, the transmis-
sion condition is affected by the impedance of the cable length.

Note! Especially in fields with serious electric noise, setting termination resis-
tors is helpful to stabilize communications. Ensure that both sides of the
RS-485 bus have termination resistors. See Sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 for
further details.
