How to Use RS-485 Ports

The RS-485 communication is supported by the following devices:

• ReliaGATE 10-05

• ReliaGATE 10-11

• ReliaGATE 10-20

• ReliaGATE 20-25

• BoltGATE 20-25

In general, the gateways are provided with serial ports that can work either as RS-232 or RS-485.
ESF supports this capability providing a bundle named RS485 Service that allows to control the RS-485 serial ports and, for example, switch between RS-232 and RS-485 modalities.

In the images below a screenshot of the RS485 Service configuration for the ReliaGATE 10-11:

and for the ReliaGATE 20-25:

The ReliaGATE 10-05 hasn't got a RS485 Service because it is equipped with one RS-232 and one RS-485 that cannot be configured.
