5.3 RS-485 Connections
This paragraph describes the method of connecting the RS-485 communications interface to the
personal computer by using the line converter (Model SC8-10: sold separately). Since the line
converter and the personal computer use three control signal of Send, Receive and Signal ground
only. Since general personal computers are controlled by control signals, the computer does not
function by only connecting three signal cables without wiring processing inside the connectors.
Wiring processing depends upon the control signals being controlled by the personal computer. For
details, read the instruction manual for the personal computer used.
[please refer to the following instruction manual for line converter (Model SC8-10: sold separately).]
