2.3 System Controller Version 2.1 (SYSCON2.1)
Serial Ports
● SYSCON Debug – This serial RS-232 port provides the SYSCON2.1 debug function on
the CAC3. The debug port has no support for hardware handshake. The debug port is
accessed via a DB9 connector on the front of the SYSCON assembly cage.
● Serial Ports 1 and 2 – The SYSCON2.1 is equipped with two serial ports, each ground-
isolated and configurable for RS-232 or RS-485. Both ports support RTS/CTS hardware
handshake. Maximum supported data rate on the serial ports is 115200 bits/second. Serial
Port 1 supports Modbus and Serial Port 2 may be used to support a printer.
Note
RS-485 Operation
When configured for RS-485 operation, the serial ports are designed to comply with the
Profibus standard. This results in a different pinout than for the previous version of SYSCON
(pins 8 and 2 reversed). For backward Modbus RS-485 compatibility when replacing a
SYSCON+ with a SYSCON2.1, an adapter cable (part number A5E02283873001) is
available.
● Serial Ports 3 and 4 – These two serial ports, equipped on the same slot connector as the
SYSCON Debug port, are not active in software release 5.0.
