The pin connections for the 8-pin M12 connector and the wire colors of
the respective M12 cable (optional, 2/10 m) are listed in the table below.
The signal names Data in (RxD) and Data out (TxD) in the table
describe the direction of data flow as seen from the WMT52.
The terms "Default wiring" and "RS-422 wiring" refer to the two
internal wiring options, see the diagrams on the next page.
