Can I initiate RS485 comms to a terminal from an existing IP terminal?
Extending RS485 comms from an IP terminal to a remote terminal is not possible since you must always have one side of the RS485 loop connected back to a system controller. However, each RS485 connected device can daisy chain additional RS485 terminals together.
Whenever using RS485 communications, it is imperative to follow a few basic rules. See the KB article on RS485 best practices for more details.
