Case 1: RS422 with cable break detection
● Mode of operation: RS422
● Receive line initial state: Reverse bias (biased with R(A) > R(B) > 0V)
● Cable break: Cable break detection enabled (transmitter always active)
Case 2: RS422 No cable break detection, forward bias
● Mode of operation: RS422
● Receive line initial state: Forward bias (biased with R(B) > R(A) > 0 V)
● Cable break: No cable break detection (transmitter enabled only while transmitting)
