    PCMCIA 1 Port RS422/485 Additional 422/485 Operation CHAPTER 4 ADDITIONAL RS422/485 OPERATION The RS422 Standard. The RS422 standard defines a serial communications standard. RS422 is a high speed and/or long distance data transmission. Each signal is carried by a pair of wires and is thus a differential data transmission system.

    PCMCIA 1 Port RS422/485 Additional 422/485 Operation unintentionally when the twisted pair line is accidentally cut or disconnected or the transmitting device fails. In RS485 party line systems there are extended periods of time when none of the many possible talkers are gated onto the bus. This is known as the line idle state and occurs when all the driver outputs are in the high impedance state.

    PCMCIA 1 Port RS422/485 Additional 422/485 Operation In this way, no data will ever be transmitted when the receiver is unable to accept it, due to a full input buffer etc. And so no data will be lost. RS422 Serial Port Cables. Use screened twisted pair Belden cable 9729 and 9829, L type 2493 and 2919 or IBM Part No 4716748 cable to make the RS422 connection.
