Figure 64. RS-422 Connections with Flow Control
In the RS-422 mode, TXD lines are outputs and RXD lines are inputs.
Connect the ESP904 TXDB(+) line to the RXDB(+) line of the serial device,
and the ESP904 TXDA(-) to the RXDA(-) of the serial device.
If Flow Control is set for RTS/CTS, connect the ESP904 RTSB(+) to
CTSB(+) of the serial device and the ESP904 RTSA(-) line to the CTSA(-)
of the serial device. Connect from the ESP904 CTSB(+) line to the RTSB(+)
of the serial device and from the ESP904 CTSA(-) line to the RTSB(+) line
of the serial device.
If connecting to Receive Only RS-422 devices, connect from the ESP904
TXDB(+) and TXDA(-) lines to the receive pairs on all serial devices.
Ground is signal ground and provides a common mode reference for the RS-
422 Receiver and Transmitters.
N N o o t t e e : :
The RS-422 mode can be used for full duplex 4-wire RS-485 operation provided
that the ESP904 is acting as a sole master connecting to all the slave devices,
and all slave devices share the Receive signal lines to the master. Set Flow
Control for none, and omit connections to RTS/CTS line pairs.
