Serial Interface 
Serial Interface parameters include the type of interface and the data 
rate/format of the data. The MES1A/B must use the same type of interface 
and serial parameters as that of the Modbus device it is connected to. 
MES1A Serial Interface 
Since the MES1A is designed with an RS-232 interface, its default Interface 
Type is RS-232.  
Although RS-422/485 four-wire and RS-485 two-wire options are given in the 
configuration menu, reconfiguring the MES1A for anything other than RS-232 
will prevent the device from operating correctly. 
MES1B Serial Interface 
The MES1B is designed with an RS-422/485 interface and can be configured 
for four-wire operation or two-wire operation.  
Although RS-232 option is provided in the configuration menu, reconfiguring the 
MES1B for RS-232 will prevent the device from operating correctly. 
To configure Interface Type parameters: 
29.  At the 
Interface Type (1=RS232 2=RS422/RS485+4-wire 
3=RS485+2-wire) (3)
