ADAM-5000E
Introduction
The ADAM-5000/485 and ADAM-5000E systems use the EIA RS-485 communication protocol. This is the industry's most widely used, balanced, bidirectional transmission line
standard. RS-485 was specifically developed for industrial applications to transmit and receive data at high rates over long distances.
