For operation environments that require high noise immunity or long distance communication, it is
recommended to use the built-in RS485 interface. The RS485 interface is accessible through the
rear panel In/Out jacks in a similar way to the RS232. The communication is a four-wire type. Refer to
par. 5-6 for detailed explanation. Up to 31 ZUP units can be connected to the RS485 control as shown
in Fig. 5-6.
Power supplies are linked in the same way as described in par. 5.3.4.
The ZUP command set is divided into four categories as follows: 1. ID Control
2. Initialization Control
3. Output Control
4. Status Control
The commands structure, syntax, and registers definition are described in this paragraph as listed
above.
