RS485 Half-Duplex Interface
The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication
protocols.
It can be used for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.6.3
and 2.6.4) exploiting a proprietary protocol based on polled mode called MUX32
protocol, where a master device polls slave devices to collect data.
The connector pinout follows:
Pin Name Function

2 RTX485- RS485 transmit/receive data -

This interface is forced by software when the protocol selected is MUX32 protocol.
In a Multiplexer layout or for slaves, the Multidrop address must also be set via the
serial channel by the WinHost utility or by ESC sequences.
