Serial Interface
The Serial Interface translates between an ASCII, RS422 or RS232-
capable terminal or computer and the Performer RS485 bus. The
Serial Interface allows the terminal or computer to masquerade as
a TEN–20, 20–TEN or Performer remote control panel. The
operation of the Serial Interface is invisible to the terminal
operator. The following
Serial Protocol Descriptions
