The Frame control interface uses RS422. A full duplex 5 wire balanced communications standard that allows
communications to be multi-dropped to more than one Frame.
Since PC’s only come with RS232 ports a small converter is required to convert the RS232
signals to RS422.
If you purchased any of the SmartControl software options you will have received a suitable converter and cable.
In the event that you wish to purchase your own converter and/or make your own comms cable please see Appendix
A at the rear of this document for more information.
