Intelligent RS-485 Control
ADAM-4510 and ADAM-4520 are both equipped with an I/O circuit
which can automatically sense the direction of the data flow. No hand-
shaking with the host (like RTS, Request to Send) is necessary to receive
data and forward it in the correct direction. You can use any software
written for half-duplex RS-232 with an ADAM network without modifi-
cation. The RS-485 control is completely transparent to the user.
