Transmission Parameters for RS-485#
Note
These settings are available for digital clocks only with RS-485 option.
Number of Data Bits#
Data bits carry the actual information or payload being sent. The number of data bits determines the size of data field.
You can choose from values:
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
8 (default value) |
Bits |
7 |
Bits |
Number of Stop Bits#
One or more stop bits follow the data bits, indicating the end of data frame. Stop bits provide synchronization and framing.
You can choose from values:
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
1 (default value) |
Stop bits |
2 |
Stop bits |
Parity#
Parity is a mechanism used to detect errors in the transmission of data between devices in RS-485 network. It involves the inclusion of an extra bit, knows as partiy bit, within each data frame. The parity bit is used to check whether the transmitted data has been received accurately.
You can choose from values:
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
n |
No parity |
o |
Odd parity |
E (default value) |
Even parity |
