Serial Port Isolation Recommendation

For better surge protection of AMAX-5580 from external serial communication, it's
recommended to install some isolation device. For example, local left-side expansion
module AMAX-5490 or ADAM-4520, integrated with on board serial ports, both
ensure surge protection from external CPU units.
