IV. Hardware installation & application
Suit for industrial automation, all-one-card, door safe, car parking,
The product exterior adopts DB-9 all-purpose transit plugs,
ATM, bus charge, eatery sell out, staff attendance management, and
output plug carries ordinary connection pole, can use TP or
highway's tolling etc. STP and easy connection and disassembly T/R+ T/R- stands for
dispatching A+ B-, VCC stands for standby power input, GND RS-422 Machine
stands for public ground wire point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
II. Performance Full-duplex communication need 2 connection (T/R+ T/R-),
connection principle is T/R+ connects to opposite T/R+ T/R-
1. Interface: RS-232C& RS485/RS-422 EIA/TIA. connects to opposite T/R-, RS-422 Full-duplex mode connection
is to connect T/R+ to opposite A+ and T/R-to opposite B-.

 VI. Problem and resolution
RS-232 to RS-485 conversion
1. Communication failure
1.RS-485 point to point 2 wires Full-duplex A. Make sure RS-232 interface connection is correct.
B. Make sure RS-485/RS-422 output interface connection
is correct.
1 C. Make sure the wire terminal connection is OK.

2. Data missing or incorrect

A. Check to see whether if the data rate and format at both ends
of the communication equipment are consistent.
