Transmission Parameters for RS-485

Note

These settings are available for digital clocks only with RS-485 option.

Number of Data Bits

Navigation

Menu:

 SY NC

Item:

 o9: 8

Available values:

8, 7

Description

Data bits carry the actual information or payload being sent. The number of data bits determines the size of data field.

Available Settings

Value	Description
8 (default value)	Bits
7	Bits

Number of Stop Bits

Navigation

Menu:

 SY NC

Item:

 10: 1

Available values:

1, 2

Description

One or more stop bits follow the data bits, indicating the end of data frame. Stop bits provide synchronization and framing.

Available Settings

Value	Description
1 (default value)	Stop bits
2	Stop bits

Parity

Navigation

Menu:

 SY NC

Item:

 11: E

Available values:

n, o, E

Description

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.

Available Settings

Value	Description
n	No parity
o	Odd parity
E (default value)	Even parity
