3-7 RS-485 Communication
Using a PC for data communication is the most economic way.
The signal is transmitted and received through the PC
communication Port (generally RS-232). Since a standard PC
can't support RS-485 port, a network adaptor (such as SNA10A,
SNA10B) has to be used to convert RS-485 to RS-232 for a PC if
RS-485 is required for the data communication. Many RS-485
units (up to 247 units) can be connected to one RS-232, that is a
PC with 4 comm ports can communicate with 988 units. It is quite
economic.
