  • Baud rate can be set up in the range from 300bps to 38400bps variously.

  • It is available to set up RS232C / RS422(RS485) communication port as independent channel or linked channel.

  • 1:1 / 1:N / N:M communication (In case RS422 channel is used) are supported.

  • Full – Duplex(RS422) and Half-Duplex(RS485) communication method are supported.

  • RS485 multi-drop communication system can be configured, using RS485 channel.
