RS-485 Port Connection
There is a pair of DB9 ports in the ADAM-5000 system. The ports are
designed to link the RS-485 through a cable to a network in a system.
The pin assignment of the port is as follows:
Pin No. Description
Pin 1 RS-485 Data -
Pin 2 RS-485 Data +
Pin 3 Not Used
Pin 4 Not Used
Pin 5 RS-485 Signal Ground
Pin 6 Not Used
Pin 7 Not Used
Pin 8 Not Used
Pin 9 Not Used
Note: The wiring of the RS-485 should be through a twisted
pair. To reduce electrical noise, it should be twisted
as tightly as possible
