The backplane of the RX8200 including Remote Data Card
The serial communication mode can be
Half-Duplex
and
Full-Duplex
.
The Remote Control Port supports the
RS-232
and
RS-485
serial interfaces. The
electrical characteristics for the interface must be selected between RS-232 or RS-485
via one of the user interfaces.
(See User interfaces in Chapter 2.2)
RS-485 is intended for controlling multiple IRDs from a single controller. The Alteia
protocol includes addressing capabilities and will operate with both RS-232 and
RS-485.
