Is it possible to connect out of the RS485 Port 3 on Click to one of the Advanced stepper drives ( 4850 or 80100)?

- to TX- on ISOCON Term block D
GND to GND Term block D
1/2 Duplex dipswitches both on on bottom bank of ISOCON.
5V and 0V Bias dipswitches on as well.

ISOCON Port A Pin 1 to Pin 2 on 4850 drive (GND on both)NOTE: Do NOT use Pin 6 on ISOCON Port A. It is not the same potential as Pin 1, though the ISOCON manual shows them as being the same.
