Connections between ID Controllers (1:N)
RS-232C Connection to the Host Device
Note: Short-circuit terminals 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 to use RS-485 communication.
Refer to Connections to Host Device for information on RS-232C connections between the host device and ID Control-
lers.
p. 34
If the first communications received by an ID Controller are via the RS-232C interface, reception of RS-422/RS-485
communications will be prohibited. If the first communications are received via RS-422/RS-485, reception of RS-232C
communications will be prohibited. Therefore, when changing the system configuration of an ID Controller, always turn
OFF the power supply before changing the connections.
