Termination recommendations
The RS-422/485 line must be terminated. In the TD-23 the termination is combined with
fail-safe functionality. For that reason it is important that the termination is used not to
get undefined states when the bus is in three state condition.
… At 2-wire RS-485 both ends shall be terminated at the other most units of the bus.
… At 4-wire RS-485 both pairs shall be terminated at both ends.
… At 4-wire RS-422 it is only necessary to terminate the receivers.
RS-422/485 connection pins can be differently named. For some brands the T+
corresponds to A, but other brands might use some other naming convention.
If a unit does not work it can help to swap A and B.
