At 16 Mbps, this transceiver supports high-speed data links over RS-485 multi-drop networks or RS-422 point-to-point connections. Full-duplex operation means simultaneous transmit and receive on separate twisted pairs, eliminating the turnaround delay half-duplex designs incur. For a controls integrator wiring a fieldbus slice to a safety CPU over a dedicated RS-422 link, the full-duplex capability keeps the update rate deterministic without bus arbitration overhead.
