RS-422/RS-485 connector - Two 2-pin terminal blocks for RS-485/422 serial interface used to control auxiliary equipment, e.g. PTZ devices.

The RS-485/422 serial port can be configured in the following port modes:

Bidirectional RS-485 half-duplex port for data transmission using two wires, one combined RX/TX pair.

Bidirectional RS-485 full-duplex port for data transmission using four wires, one RX pair and one TX pair.

Unidirectional RS-422 port for transmitting or receiving data using two wires, RX- or TX pair.

Bidirectional RS-422 full-duplex port for data transmission (point-to-point) using four wires, one RX pair and one TX pair.
