1. RS-422 transmit and receive are balanced signals that require two lines plus a ground in each direction. RXD+ and
TXD+ should idle high (going low at start of data transmission). RXD- and TXD- should idle low (going high at
start of data transmission). If necessary, RXD+/RXD- and TXD+/TXD- may be swapped to maintain correct
signal levels.
2. A ground terminal connection is recommended but not required.
