A RS-485 / RS-422 serial port is provided on the EasyGrid Base. It can be used to connect the EasyGrid Base to any RS-485 or RS-422 communication bus. It also allows multiple EasyGrid Base to be link together off the same communication bus. -
Page 18: Rs-485 / Rs-422 Network Recommendations
EasyGrid Base User Guide v1.0 4.13 RS-485 / RS-422 Network Recommendations FISO recommends shielded, twisted pair wiring, 24 AWG with 120Ω line impedance to connect the RS- 485 / RS-422 interface to the network. FISO also recommends biasing the RS-485 BUS using pull-down and pull-up 1 KΩ resistors. Biasing the RS-485 BUS line will prevent unknown voltage on these lines (RS-485 BUS floating). -
