3.5 RS485 Communication
An iHP system can support RS485 communication with below settings:
Bits per seconds = 115200
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop bits = One
Flow control = None
RS485/CAN Bus Terminator or 120Ω terminating resistors are required at both end terminals, PC and iHP rack.
For multiple RS485 communication, the terminating resistor should be placed on the iHP rack farthest from the
PC/Laptop.

The recommended equipment for communicating with the iHP system via RS485 are as follows:
USB to 2-Wire RS485 Adapter – COMMFRONT USB-485-1 or equivalent
6-pin RJ11 Connector with Cable
