COM1 Port notes and wiring arrangements (for RS-485)
•
The COM1 port supports 4-wire and 2-wire RS-485 mode as follows:
-
RXD+ / RXB and RXD– / RXA are data sent into the unit
RXD+ / RXB is positive with respect to RXD– / RXA when the line input is a "0"
-
-
TXD+ / TXB and TXD– / TXA are data sent out by the unit
TXD+ / TXB is positive with respect to the TXD– / TXA when the line output is a "0"
-
•
2-wire RS-485 mode connections:
-
Connect pins 5&6 (TXD+/RXD+) together and connect to (TXD+/RXD+) tied together on
connected device
-
Connect pins 7&8 (RXD-/TXD-) together and connect to (TXD-/RXD-) tied together on
connected device
•
4-wire RS-485 mode connections:
-
Connect pin 5 (TXD+) to RXD+ of connected device
-
Connect pin 6 (RXD+) to TXD+ of connected device
-
Connect pin 7 (TXD-) to RXD- of connected device
-
Connect pin 8 (RXD-) to TXD- of connected device
Figure 2-5 illustrates the 2-wire and 4-wire connections described above.

ALARM Output
DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
--
Connects to ground (negative supply potential) on chassis
TXD+/TXB (Transmitted Data +)—Non-inverting driver output. Supplies
received payload data to the connected device.
RXD+/RXB (Received Data +) — Non-inverting receiver input. Accepts
payload data from the connected device.
TXD-/TXA (Transmitted Data -)—Inverting driver output. Supplies
received payload data to the connected device.
RXD-/RXA (Received Data -) — Inverting receiver input. Accepts
payload data from the connected device.
