2) The transmission speed (baud rate) and transmission format
are specified using the system registers.
3) Unit (Station) numbers are specified using the system
registers. Up to 31 units (stations) can be set, using the
switches on the control unit.
4) When connecting a commercially available device that has an
RS485 interface, please confirm operation using the actual
device. In some cases, the number of units (stations),
transmission distance, and transmission speed (baud rate)
vary depending on the connected device.
5) The values for the transmission distance, transmission speed
(baud rate), and number of units (stations) should be within
the values noted in the graph below.
