Products from other manufacturers (RS-232 - RS-485) are usually presented in
reverse. Therefore, the data lines must be crossed in certain cases.

Not all manufacturers use the same connection allocation, therefore the data lines
must be crossed in certain cases.
To guarantee an error-free operation of an RS-485 network, the network must be
terminated at both ends. Cables and terminating resistors should be selected in
accordance with manual section 26/740 Installation of components for RS-485
networks.
The drivers work with 5 VDC. If a higher voltage is applied, the drivers may be
destroyed!
