RS485 Full-Duplex Interface 
The opto-isolated RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface can be used for non-polled 
communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances than those 
acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments. 
The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex communication: 
Pin Name  Function 
2  TX485+  Transmitted data (+) 
4  TX485-  Transmitted data (-) 
3  RX485+  Received data (+) 
5  RX485-  Received data (-)
