(Note 1) By switching on the dip switch on the cassette, you can use the unit as 5-wire 1-channel RS-232C.
(Note 2) By switching on the dip switch on the cassette, you can switch between RS-422 and RS-485.
(Note 3) When connecting a commercially available device that has an RS485/RS-422 interface, please confirm
operation using the actual device. In some cases, the number of units, transmission distance, and baud rate
vary depending on the connected device.
(Note 4) When communication is performed at a baud rate of 38400 bps or higher, use the cable not longer than 3 m.
For wiring the RS-232C, a shielded wire must be used to increase noise suppression.
(Note 5) The transmission distance is limited by the specified baud rate and No. of connected units in the RS-485
setting. When using a baud rate of 38400 bps or less, the allowable settings are a maximum of 1200 m and 99
units. When a C-NET adapter is mixed, the maximum number of connected units is 32, and the baud rate is
limited to 19200 bps or less.
(Note 6) The converter SI-35 manufactured by Lineeye Co., Ltd is recommendable for the RS485 at the computer side.
(Note 7) In general-purpose communication, RS-232C and RS-422 use full-duplex transmission.
