2.2.3 RS485 Connection
The RS485 line allows connecting several terminals to a single
RS232 line by means of a network (see the "Formula 904/N User
Manual).
If the network is made using the Formula 902 T-Box, the line can
be extended up to 1200 meters and up to 32 different types of
Formula cradles can be connected. If multiple cradles are used, the
individual work stations must be counted.
NOTE
The RS485 connection is the only one allowing
all the stations of a multi-cradle to be available for
transmission/reception from the host computer.
