KTI Networks KSC-240 manual RS-422 Multi-drop Network

It also can convert an RS-232 device into a receiver node in this point-to- point circuit.

The configuration for a RECEIVER node is:

SW1-4	TXC	Enable RTS/ADC Control for Driver
SW1-6	RXE	Enable Receiver always
SW1-5	RTS-D	Disable RTS control
SW2-1	SDD	Disable ADC control

3.2 RS-422 Multi-drop Network

In this topology there is only one driver sending to one or more receiv- ers. One termination resistor is recommended at the extreme end of the bus to eliminate reflections. Up to 10 receivers are permitted under RS-

422.Multiple receive-only nodes may be used for point-to-multipoint communications.
