Hi,
I ordered the MAX488 to comunicate through RS-485 using Modbus RTU protocol.
Now i have noticed that the MAX488 is full duplex chip ( http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX1487-MAX491.pdf ) which makes me use 4 lines of comunication and separate the Data IN and Data OUT chanels.
Is it possible to use the MAX488 like a MAX485? Using only 1 diferential channel and copying the connections like they are made for the MAX485 in the datasheet?
Does anyone know?
Best regards
