RS-422/485 Full Duplex Serial Port
The factory default setting for the ES devices is RS-422 full duplex.
Background Information:
DTR/DSR and CTS/RTS Handshaking is not available.
This mode is generally used between one transmitter / receiver to only one other transmitter /
receiver, but it is possible for each output to drive up to 10 receivers.
Generally, in RS-422 systems, all 4 signal lines from the 5 pin terminal block participate in the data
transfer sequence. Thus 2 twisted pair cables are used. One twisted pair carries the TXD data
outwards, one pair brings the RXD data inward.
