Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this module support RS485 with 3964(R)?
A: No, 3964(R) and RK512 are not supported with RS485. Use RS422 for those protocols.
Q: Can I achieve 76.8 kbit/s in full-duplex mode?
A: No, 76.8 kbit/s is only achievable in half-duplex operation.
Q: Is the configuration package mandatory?
A: It is included and highly recommended for easy setup, but you can also configure via STEP 7.
Q: What is the maximum telegram length?
A: All protocols support up to 1024 bytes per telegram.
Q: How do I reload customer-specific drivers?
A: Use the provided CD and STEP 7 utility to load custom drivers.
