4.2.2 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in
point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for
RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments.
The CBX pinout follows:

For applications that do not use RX485 signals, do not leave these lines floating but
connect them to SGND as shown below.
