9.3.6.3 RS-422
• There is the need to provide a termination resistor at either end of a transmission line.
• SSCA provides selectable termination resistors for each pair of signal lines.
• Jumpers JP#A and JP#B apply or remove the termination resistors between signals A-B and C-D.
• Above Point 3 function is repeated for each serial communication channel. The default jumper position is to disconnect
the termination resistor.
• The SSCA is clearly marked to display the relationship of the termination jumpers and the serial communication channel
signals.
The configuration at SSCA jumper (JP#A, JP#B set to IN) must match the ToolboxST configuration as displayed in the
following diagram. The 120 Ω resistance selection is used as an example.
