Communication Ports
The back of the Click 421 features a 5-position connector that plugs into a T-bus connector

The top of the device has two pluggable screw terminal blocks. The first block features -485,
+485 and two ground screw terminals for wiring RS-485 communication. (It will not be
necessary, however, to wire RS-485 through the screw terminal block if the device is con-
