Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface
RS-485/422 Cable Wiring
You can wire Titan/cPCI adapters in various ways to
communicate with RS-485/422 peripherals. This section
describes a few examples of RS-485/422 cabling schemes.
Figure 5 describes a 4 wire cabling scheme between a port on the
Titan/cPCI adapter to a port on the RS-485/422 peripheral.

Technical Tip
The RS-485/422 electrical interface consists of a differential
signaling scheme. You should always connect the signals with
twisted pairs
