Practical connection example – Address type serial devices
An address type serial device uses a protocol preventing it from answering to all messages from
the master station. The device is given some ID address to which it will respond.
The connection below effectively connects device C and D to the same multi-drop network.
This connection demands a device that will only respond to its ID call from a master controller.
