Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
The ULTRA-485 provides the PC with an additional RS-422/485 serial port for terminals, PLC
communication, laboratory instrumentation, etc.
The unique feature of the ULTRA-485 is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need for
special software or drivers. This is especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2 environments
where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. Which means that the
user can effectively use the ULTRA-485 in an RS-485 application with existing (i.e. standard
RS-232) software drivers.
