Technical FAQ
What is the difference between ALR111 and ALR121?
-
ALR111: RS-232C (short distance, point-to-point)
-
ALR121: RS-422/RS-485 (longer distance, multi-drop)
Can this module be used for Modbus TCP/IP?
-
No. ALR111-S50 is strictly serial RS-232C. Use ALE111 or other Ethernet modules for Modbus TCP/IP.
Does the module support hardware flow control?
-
Yes, it supports RTS/CTS signals for reliable communication with legacy peripherals.
