In the case of two-wire system
Connect send and receive terminals with the same signal polarity on the terminal arrangement of the
RS-422-A/RS-485 module. Only two wires are used in connecting to other units.

Note
• The method in eliminating noise depends on the condition in which it is used. In the example, shielded cable is grounded
only at the DA100 (one-sided grounding). This method is effective in eliminating noise in long distance communication in
which there is potential difference between the ground of the PC and the ground of the DA100. When there is no potential
difference between the ground of the PC and the ground of the DA100, grounding both sides (two-sided grounding) is
sometimes effective. In addition, there are cases when grounding both sides with one side having a capacitor connected in
series is effective.
Consider all the above cases in eliminating the noise.
