Wiring RM Devices to PMB
Wire RM bus devices to the PMB ports using the pin assignments indicated in 
Figure 4.13. There is a limit of four RM readers, eight I/8 modules, and eight 
R/8 modules on a bus.
The RM bus connects RM readers, I/8s, and R/8s to the PMB port connectors. 
The RM bus uses half-duplex RS485 with data on pins 2 and 3. Pins 1 and 4 are 
used to provide power.
