11.6.2 Port 2

Port 2 of the MICRO-EH is a communication port that uses either the RS-422 or RS-485 protocol as interface. It is also a

dedicated port with which to perform communication by the H series dedicated procedure (high protocol), which allows

1:n station communication. Figure 11.6 and 11.7 show examples of port 2 connections for 1:n station communication.

Moreover, the connection for communicating 1:1 is performed by connecting only the first CPU in the figure below.
