The common topologies implemented with RS-485 and RS-422 are:
1. RS-422 point to point in 2 -wire circuit
2. RS-422 2-wire multi-drop network
3. RS-485 2-wire multi-drop network
4. RS-485 half-duplex bidirectional network in 2-wire topology
5. RS-485 full-duplex bidirectional network in 4-wire topology
The converter is equipped with functionality and flexibility to convert an
RS-232 device to a node in any one of the above topologies.
