1 - 3 1 INST ALLING THE RS-422-A INTERF ACE 1.3 Communication Wiring If the host PC is equipped with an RS-422-A interface, the VR200 can be connected directly. If the host PC is equipped with only an RS-232-C interface, the VR200 can be connected using a converter (SHARP model Z-101HE or equivalent).
1 - 4 If A < B, then signal = 1 If A > B, then signal = 0 1.4.1 Start-stop (Asynchronous) Communication The built-in RS-422-A interface communicates based on the start-stop (asynchronous) system.
1 - 5 1 INST ALLING THE RS-422-A INTERF ACE Note The VR200 identifies an LF as the end of a text when receiving data (and sends a CR and LF as the terminator when sending data). As shown in the example in Figure 1.6, when a CR and LF are used as the terminator, the CR is ignored.
