Figure 67. RS-422 Connections with Flow Control
In the RS-422 mode, TXD lines are outputs and RXD lines are inputs.
Connect the Serial Server TXDB(+) line to the RXDB(+) line of the
serial device, and the Serial Server TXDA(-) to the RXDA(-) of the
serial device.
If Flow Control is set for RTS/CTS, connect the Serial Server
RTSB(+) to CTSB(+) of the serial device and the Serial Server
RTSA(-) line to the CTSA(-) of the serial device. Connect from the
Serial Server CTSB(+) line to the RTSB(+) of the serial device and
from the Serial Server CTSA(-) line to the RTSB(+) line of the serial
device.
If connecting to Receive Only RS-422 devices, connect from the
Serial Server TXDB(+) and TXDA(-) lines to the receive pairs on all
serial devices.
Ground is signal ground and provides a common mode reference for
the RS-422 Receiver and Transmitters.

The RS-422 mode can be used for full duplex 4-wire RS-485 operation
provided that the serial server is acting as a sole master connecting to
all the slave devices, and all slave devices share the Receive signal
lines to the master. Set Flow Control for none, and omit connections to
RTS/CTS line pairs.
