Appendix 3 Using NS-AL002 Converters
A-3-5 Pin Arrangement
The Adapter has a connector for RS-232C interface connection and a terminal block for
RS-422A/485 interface connection.
The pin arrangements for the RS-232C connector and RS-422A/485 terminal block are as
follows:
● RS-232C Connector
Terminal block
