Connections
The XVG/eXVG can communicate via RS-232 or RS-485, one interface or the other.
To communicate with an XVG/eXVG that was built with RS-485 interface circuit, you
may need to use RS232-to-RS485 converter.
The connection from the PC or PLC’s serial port to the XVG/eXVG can be made as
follows:
