When interfacing to the COM3 port of a ControlWave, or the COM5 or
COM6 port a ControlWaveEXP unit, use the cable presented in Figure
2-9 along with one of the cables shown in Figure 2-6 or Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-9. Full-duplex and Half-duplex Cable
Observe the following guidelines when constructing RS-232
communication cables:
Ensure that DCD is high to transmit (except when dialing a modem)
Verify that each RS-232 transceiver has one active receiver while
disabled (in power down mode); connect the DCD signal to the
active receiver.
Set CTS to high to transmit.
If the port is set for full-duplex operation, RTS is always ON.
Ensure that DTR is always high when port is active; DTR enables
RS-232 transceivers.
: Control DTR using the PORTCONTROL function block and
Note
the _Pn_AUTO_DTR system variable in your ControlWave
project. If you turn DTR off through these mechanisms, the
port remains off, even though hardware is fully configured.
When port is set for half-duplex operation, CTS must go low after
RTS goes low.
All RS-232 comm ports support RTS, DTR, CTS, DCD, and DSR
control signals.
All RS-232 comm port I/O signals are protected by surge protectors.
