Communications Methods
● Applicable Line Wire Size, Terminal Screws, and Torque
Note For details on solderless terminal sizes and wiring methods, refer to the User's Manual.
● Wiring Diagram
Note For information on wiring between the USB/RS-485 or RS-232C/RS-485 Converter and the
host computer, refer to the manual for the Converter.
■ Communications Parameters
With 3G3JE Communications Models (RS-485), communications parameters (communications unit
number, baud rate, data length, stop bits, and parity) can be set. The following table shows the com-
munications parameters and their setting ranges.
