Connectivity | Specifications |
---|---|
RS232 / RS485 / RS4221 | 6x RJ-11 jacks functioning as RS2322, as half3/full-duplex RS485 or RS422 serial ports; |
CAN bus | 2x RJ-45 jacks functioning as an isolated Controller Area Network (CAN) bus |
Notes:
- The default standard can be configured by jumper E1. See section Serial Ports Configuration.
- FM-SER is classified as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) in terms of RS232 standard definition.
- RS485 half-duplex mode requires special HW/SW adaptation
