(c)    It is necessary to set (or connect) a terminal resistor in both terminals when 
wiring. 
On the QD51 (-R24) side, connect a terminal resistor (packed together with 
the QD51 (-R24))in accordance with this section to match the external 
device's specifications. 
As for the external device side, connect or set a terminal resistor in 
accordance with the external device's user's manual. 
(Terminal resistors connected to the QD51(-R24) side.) 
•  Connect a "330Ω, 1/4 W" terminal resistor when communicating using the 
RS-422 interface. 
•  Connect a "110Ω, 1/2 W" terminal resistor when communicating using the 
RS-485 interface.

POINT 
 
Including 1:n, n:1 and m:n connections, it is necessary that the device connecting 
to the QD51 (-R24)'s RS-422/485 interface have a matching RS-422 or RS-485 
interface.
