Bi-directional Serial RS-232/422/485

These bi-directional serial channels are used for RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication. The maximum speed is 115,200 

bps. The default mode for all channels is RS-232; you must set other modes in the programming application. For more details, 

see the programming manuals.

RS-232 Mode

Output signal levels for RS-232 are in the -10 V to +10 V range. This is the default mode for all channels.
