CHAPTER 4– DATA COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE

Serial Host/TMS Communications

A host/ TMS computer system can be connected to the MultiLoad III/ RCU III DIV2 Hardware in
various ways:
- RS485 4-wire on COM 1
- RS485 2-wire on COM 1
- RS232 on COM1
- Ethernet on Ethernet Port #1
4.2.3.1

COM 1 - RS-485 4-wire - Host/TMS Communications

A host/ TMS computer system can be connected to the MultiLoad III/RCU III DIV2 Hardware via
RS485 4-wire on COM 1.
The TD and RD pairs are swapped at the Host/TMS.
