Example of a Connection with an Upstream Device
You can connect the MW100 to an upstream device with an RS-232, RS-422A, or RS485
connection port.
For RS-232, use a converter. Refer to the following table for connections to most
converter terminals. For details, see the manual that came with the converter.

4-Wire
In general, a 4-wire connection is used with upstream devices. For a 4-wire connection,
the send and receive wires must be crossed.
Termination resistance (externally attached) 120 Ω 1/2 W or more
#1
Do not connect termination resistance from #1 to #n-1.

2-Wire
On the RS-422A/485 terminal block, connect signals of the same polarity for sending and
receiving, and connect only two wires externally.
Termination resistance (externally attached) 120 Ω 1/2 W or more
