IMPORTANT: Before attempting to use RS232 communications with
RTS/CTS, contact Accu-Sort Customer Service for additional information.
RS422 Connections
Use RS422 for a direct connection to a controller, personal computer, or
other device. RS422 provides point-to-point communications at distances up
to 1000 feet (300 meters). RS422 connections are made to the COM1 and
COM2 terminal block. Follow the SERIAL COM / RS422 wiring table to
assure proper wiring.
Line Termination The end devices on an RS422 point-to-point connection
must be terminated. A termination resistor is pre-installed in the interface
module. The HOST end of the connection must also be terminated using a
120-ohm resistor between the RECEIVE+ and RECEIVE- terminals.
Ethernet Communications Connections
Use Ethernet for network/host communications or multiple-reader networks.
Ethernet communications cabling can be run up to 330 feet (100 meters).
Ethernet connections are made to the Network connector on the Interface
Module’s connector panel.
Ethernet Connections to Basic Interface Module
NOTE: To simplify network installations, Accu-Sort offers these options:
 CAT 6 network cables (7 and 15 ft. lengths)
 a 5-port Ethernet switch (dual speed 10/100) and
 an 8-port dual speed Ethernet switch (10/100).
Multiple Readers Most multi-reader applications will use Ethernet or
EtherNet/IP communications. See drawing 113492 in Appendix F for wiring
details.
