5.4.2 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication
protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than
those acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments.
The following pins of the M16 19-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex
communication:
Pin Name Function
M TX+ RS485 Transmit Data (+)
N TX- RS485 Transmit Data (-)
U RX+ RS485 Receive Data (+)
T RX- RS485 Receive Data (-)
