Technical FAQ
Q: Can different serial standards be used simultaneously on the four ports?
A: Yes. Each port is independently isolated and configurable, allowing mixed use of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 across the four ports.
Q: Does the P0931NE require a specific termination assembly?
A: Yes. A compatible Termination Assembly (TA) and cable are required. The TA selection depends on whether RS-232 or RS-422/485 wiring is used.
