Controller LEDs
confocalDT 2421 / 2422
RS422
- Differential signals according to EIA-422, electrically isolated
from the supply voltage.
- Receiver Rx with 120 Ohm internal terminating resistor.
Terminate the transmitter input Tx on the evaluation unit (re-
ceiver) with 90 ... 120 Ohm.
Use a shielded cable with twisted wires.
Cable length less than 30 m.
Connect the ground connections.
