3. Terminating Resistance Switch
Set this switch to ON only for double-ended connection to a Host Link net-
work. This switch is factory-set to OFF.
4. RS-485 Interface Switch
Used to switch to the RS-485 interface, and to enable or disable RS/CS
control when performing RS-485 communications.

Signal
conversion
Converts CMOS level (CPU Unit side) to RS-422
(connected device side).
RS-422 (externally connected device) insulated
using DC/DC converter or photocoupler.
Function Host Link, peripheral bus, or no-protocol connec-
tions.

Signal
conversion
Outputs signals from the CPU Unit’s CMOS interface
without conversion.
Function Host Link, no-protocol, 1:1 Link, or 1:1 NT Link con-
nections.
