9. RS-485 INTERFACE
(Communication protocol; Modbus-RTU)
The RS-485 interface is used to read out the indicated value and the state of the
F320 and to write set values into the F320. It is convenient for connecting the
F320 with a PLC/programmable display, etc., to perform processing, such as
controlling, aggregating, and recording.
