RC2500 Antenna Controller

Appendix D

The RCI RS422 Interface Specification

Each network configuration can have one master and up to 32 slave devices. Each controller is internally

configured to respond to a unique address. A master could be a protection switch, earth station

controller, or any micro- or mini-computer that is electrically and operationally compatible with RS-422.

Since the electrical specifications are very similar to EIA standards RS-422 and RS-449, virtually any

computer that meets these standards is capable of controlling remote devices.

Figure 2 and 3 show RS-422 Master and Slave connections respectively.
