1.1 Overview of Communications Methods
1-5
● E5AN/EN
● E5GN
Match the communications specifications of the E5CN/AN/EN/GN and
the host. When using a 1: N connection, set the same communications
specifications in all of the Units. (Of course, each Unit must have a
unique unit number.)

Specify both ends of the transmission path including the host
as the end node (that is, connect terminators to both ends).
Use a terminating resistance of at least 54 Ω.
