5.3 Short description of the stand-
ard interfaces RS 232, RS 422
and RS 485
The standard interfaces RS 232, RS 422, RS
485 used in VEGACOM 557, depending on
the version, transmit the data serially and
asynchronously in bit form. Thus, the condi-
tions "0" and "1" are transmitted by defined
voltage levels. Usually, the transition level
corresponds to a logic "1". The respective
levels are specified in the following informa-
tion according to the individual interfaces.
