RS485
On the rear card the 869 is equipped with one RS485 serial communication port and one
10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. The RS485 port has settings for baud rate and parity. It is
important that these parameters agree with the settings used on the computer or other
equipment connected to this port. A maximum of 32 relays can be daisy-chained and
connected to a DCS, PLC or a PC using the RS485 port.
