Since it is necessary to input a voltage of +5 V to the number 6 pin of NT-
AL001, supplying a voltage of 5 V from the host or an external voltage supply
for NT-AL001 is required.
The connection method in which the RS-422A/485 ports of multiple NT631/
NT631Cs are connected to the RS-232C port of one host in a 1:N connection
is described here.
An RS-232C/RS-422A Adapter (NT-AL001) is used to convert between the
RS-232C and RS-422A/485 communications methods.
