DS4600A 
The RTS232 and CTS232 signals control data transmission and synchronize the 
connected devices. 
 
 
 
 
Figure 9 - RS232 Control Signals 
 
If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS4600A activates the RTS232 
output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the 
CTS232 input to enable the transmission. 
 
 
RS485 Full-Duplex Interface 
 
The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled 
communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 
1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically 
noisy environments. 
 
The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex 
communications:
