6.3 Baud Rate Setting
Baud rate is the speed rate during communication with host PC. The 3 DIP switches are assigned for baud rate setting
on the upper left side of the iCON100 board. You can select one of 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps,
57600bps and 115200bps.You have to set applicable baud rate according to communication environment, and the
connected devices on one loop must have the same baud rate. If DIP switch turns from 'ON' to 'OFF' or 'OFF' to 'ON',
buzzer is generated. Also under TCP/IP communication, the baud rate has to be matched with TCP/IP module.
 Caution
Baud rate must be the same as the values set by application software and the baud rate of all products on the
same loop must be same.
If you use ver. 6.0 and lower with ver. A1.0 and higher together, set the baud rate to 9600bps only. When you
only use ver. A.1.0 and higher, you can set other baud rate including 9600bps.
If you set high baud rate in bad environment for communication, communication may not properly operate. In
this case, let baud rate lower.
