4 Details
4.1 General
In the IEC61162-2 compliant serial port, a serial signal reception problem occurs due to the lack of TXC / RXC
(signal GND) connection. In some cases, latch-up occurs at the input / output terminals of the transceiver circuit,
and it is necessary to restart the power supply to recover.
4.2 Information
-When using a serial port that complies with IEC61162-2, be sure to connect the signal GND on the transmitting
side and the receiving side. Even if you are connecting to a device for which TXC / RXC is not available, be sure
to connect the signal GND on the other device side to the TXC / RXC on our device side.
-When using the relay terminal block, pay sufficient attention to prevent external surges and noise from entering
the wiring.
