ExampleofaConnectiontotheHostDevice
The MV can connect to a host device that has an RS-232, RS422, or RS-485 port.
If the host device has an RS-232 port, use a converter. See the examples below for
typical converter terminals. For details, see the converter manual.

There is no problem with connecting a 220-Ω terminator at each end if Omega PLCs or temperature
controllers are also connected in the communication line.
• Four-WireSystem
Generally, a four-wire system is used to connect the MV to a host device. In a four-
wire system, the transmission and reception lines need to be crossed over.

• Two-WireSystem
Connect the transmission signals to the reception signals with the same polarity on the
RS422/485 terminal block. Only two wires are used to connect to the external device.
