Can ADAM- 4K I/O modules work without ADAM-4520?
Solution:
Description]: Can ADAM- 4K I/O modules work without ADAM-4520?? ADAM 4k series can be commanded with any device which provide RS-485 protocol. The most important thing is that the device has to have the flow control that can help to switch back and forth between listen and send commands. Usually, there is only RS232 COM port for most of the PC, therefore it needs ADAM-4520 to help transfer from RS-232 to RS-485.
