Module Overview
The Compact 5000™ I/O serial module provides two independent channels
that function as network interfaces to a wide variety of RS-232C, RS-422, and

The module has two channels that are independent of each other. The channels
can transmit data to and receive data from serial devices using the following
communication mode:
