TM
DS2 series
As mentioned, the DS2 light grid has a RS485 serial communication line (half duplex).
As far as the PC is concerned, a RS232/RS485 serial adapter is necessary in order to communicate
with the light grid receiver. The program controls the receipt/transmission on the RS485 line using
the RTS line present on the RS232 connector. The adapter has to support this characteristic.
