Multidrop
Multidrop configuration means that more than two devices can be linked all together to
communicate to one another through many IC485S / GB / EU devices. In this
configuration, one of the IC485S / GB / EU devices will be connected to a master device
and the rest of the IC485S / GB / EU devices will be connected to many other slave
devices.
Note: Bn means any one of the B1, B2, B3 and so on.
