The Serial Communications interface on the ML-Drive complies with EIA Standard
RS–485-A for balanced line transmissions. This interface allows the host computer to
perform remote computer parameter entry, status or performance monitoring, and
remote control of the ML-Drive. See
Operations: Serial Communications,
page 3-49 for
information on using Serial Communications. The ML-Drive is designed to use with an
isolated RS232 to RS485 converter.
