SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
5.2.2 Connecting the RS485
Make sure the followings when using the serial port COM1 with RS485 or COM2.
• A connection condition is 1 on 1 (single point connection) or 1 on N (multi-point connection).
A maximum number of 32 SIMs are connectable in the multi-point connection.
• After receiving commands, SIM will return a response approximately 5 msec later at the shortest.
Connect the PC of which transmit/receive switch time is 5 msec or less.
• Use twisted-pair wire in communication cable. The extended communication cables should be
1.2 km or less.
• Connect the terminator to the communication devises at both ends of the transmission line. The
terminator (120 Ω, 0.25 W) is required for connection. (STP-iXR1606 does not have terminator
setting function)
