1.3.3 Normal mode versus MSU mode in RS-485 multi-drop configurations
In a RS-485 multi-drop configuration, it is recommended to enable MSU
mode instead of Normal mode (configuration setting of the CIU Prime
host port) to ensure a proper handling of requests and replies.
In Normal mode, requests are handled according to the diagram shown
in FIGURE 1-8.
