RS-485 Communications
The Brooks Digital Series is equipped with RS-485 communication
capability. Refer to Table 1-3 (Analog I/O pin connections), that enables the
device to communicate via a personal computer for process control.
Baud rate selections for the Brooks Digital Series related to RS-485 are:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud and can be selected via
the Brooks service Suite

.
The RS-485 is essentially a multidrop connection. It allows a maximum of
32 devices to be connected to a computer system. IBM-compatible PC's
are not equipped with RS-485 ports as standard. An RS-232 to RS-485
converter or RS-485 interface board is therefore required to connect an
RS-485 network to a standard pc. The RS-485 bus, a daisy chain network,
meaning that the wires are connected at the units as in Figure 1-2.
