RS422 Serial Port Connector Pin Layout

The document describes the pin layout and functions of RS-422 9-pin and 37-pin serial port connectors. It explains that RS-422 allows for asynchronous communication over long distances using two wires per signal, making it less sensitive to noise than RS-232. The pin functions covered include transmitted and received data, ground, request to send, clear to send, and more. Using the ActiveComport software, data can be sent and received and the RS-422 port controlled.

RS422 Serial Port Connector Pin Layout
RS-422 is a serial communications standard that provides asynchronous communication
capabilities, such as hardware flow control,
software flow control, and parity check. It has been widely used for decades.
Unlike RS-232, RS-422 is capable of data transmissions over long distances (up to 4000 Feet).
Because RS-422 is using 2 wires for each signal, it is less sensitive to noise.

The following document describes the functions of the pins on the RS422 9 and 37 pin Sub-D
connectors used in serial communications.
The pins in the images are as viewed from the pin side (not the solder or printed circuit board
side).
The male sockets are used on the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment ) or PC side.
The female sockets are on the DCE (Data Communication Equipment ) or Modem Side.

Using the ActiveXperts ActiveComport you can send and receive data and control the RS422 port.
