The wiring is faulty.
The setting of the
2/4-wire switch for the
RS-422A/485 port does
not match the actual wir-
ing (WIRE).
Wiring of adapters (e.g.,
NT-AL001-E) is faulty.
Check the wiring.
Turn ON the terminating
resistances of the Serial
Communications Board
and the last node. Turn
OFF the terminating re-
sistances of other
nodes.
--- Hardware failure. Replace the Serial Com-
munications Board.
