SmartController Serial I/O Connectors
The SmartController CS has two serial I/O connectors, an RS-232/Term and an
RS-422/485 port. See
The SmartController CX has two additional serial connectors, RS-232-1 and RS-232-2. See
Figure 3-2 on page 40
RS-232 Connectors
All three of the RS-232 connectors are 9-pin DB9 male (standard PC) connectors. The
user-supplied cable to connect to the RS-232 connectors should be a DB9, F/F,
null-modem data transfer cable. The pin assignments are the same for all three connectors
and are shown in
These ports support the DTR, DCD, RTS, and CTS signals used for hardware handshaking
(also known as modem control). By default, these signals are not enabled. To configure
hardware handshaking and other communication parameters, use the CONFIG_C utility

program, the V
designations for these ports when referenced in a V
