1.6 Multi Drop, Simplex, RS-232 Wiring
If at least two, but no more than eight marquees will be controlled from the PC or PLC, and all of the marquees
are less than fifty cable feet away from the PC/PLC, then multi-drop, simplex, RS-232 communications wiring may
be used. RS-232 is typically more convenient than RS-485 communications, but RS-232 can only be used over
short distances with a maximum of eight drops. Simplex wiring schemes do not provide a way for the marquees
to send data back to the PC/PLC, however few applications require data be sent back from the marquees so this
typically does not cause any problems.
