The RS-422A communications uses a four wire (full duplex) system. There are
two separate lines for transmitting, and two lines for receiving data between the
computer and the Series 945. With RS-422A you can have from one to ten Series
945 controls connected to a single computer.
This diagram is a typical wiring example. The connections on the host computer
may vary depending on models. Refer to your computer user's manual for more
information.
