2.3 Serial Communication Interfaces (For Models with -C4EIT)
The iSeries controller/monitor with Embedded Ethernet Server option supports only RS485/422 interfaces to slave instruments with RS485 interfaces (ex:
The RS485 standard
Although the RS485 is commonly referred to as a "two wire" connection, the Web Server also provides a ground/return shield connection to use as a common connection for EMI noise protection.
Table 2.2 shows some characteristics of the RS485 communication interface.
