A-3-5  Pin Arrangement  
The Adapter has a connector for RS-232C interface connection and a terminal block for 
RS-422A/485 interface connection. 
The pin arrangements for the RS-232C connector and RS-422A/485 terminal block are as 
follows:  
 
● RS-232C Connector  
 
Terminal block

Signal name  Signal direction  
Adapter ⇔ PT 
 1   NC   
 2   RD   ← 
 3   SD   → 
 4   CS   ← (RS signal short-circuited internally)  
 5   RS   → 
 6   5 V 
(30 mA max.) 
 ← 
 7 or 8   NC   (Pins 7 and 8 are short-circuited.)  
 9   SG   −
