To avoid problems in the RS-422/485 network, the Common
terminal should be wired to the corresponding terminals of the
other devices.
6. If you use RS-422 or RS-485 to connect just one transmitter to a
master computer, enable the internal termination of DMT345/346
by switching switches 1 and 2 ON. Make sure that the master's end
of the line is also terminated (by using master's internal termination
or with a separate terminator).
If you are connecting many transmitters to the same RS-485 bus,
make sure that switches 1 and 2 are OFF and terminate the bus with
separate terminators at both ends. This allows removing any
transmitter without blocking the bus operation.
NOTE
If you use the internal termination of the transmitter at the end of the
RS
-485 bus (instead of using separate terminators) removing that
transmitter will block the bus operation.
7. Use the bus type (4-wire/2-wire) to select the selection switch 3.
In 4-wire mode RS-485 master sends data to the DMT345/346
through terminals Rx D1+ and Rx D0- and receives data from
DMT345/364 through terminals Tx D1+ and Tx D0-.
