Figure 26  RS-232 Communication Option 
Serial Multipoint Transmission with RS-485 
The RS-485 transmission standard allows several FS11 sensors to 
communicate (half-duplex) with the host computer using a single twisted 
pair. The RS-485 interface is opto-isolated. For the RS-485 
communication method, connect the signal wires to the screw terminal at 
the CPU board. See Figure 27 on page 51. 
NOTE 
The cable shield of the RS
-485 cable must be properly grounded in the 
cable gland of the interface unit's enclosure, see 
Figure 25 on page 48.
