  • Page 21 I/O Controller 2 Manual HW group T: IP mode Switches between the TCP and UDP protocols. UDP communication is faster but prone to lost packets or out-of-order delivery; therefore, it is only suitable for communication on a local network segment in a request-response mode, usually to convert RS485 communication.

    I/O Controller 2 Manual HW group Serial port parameters ====== Serial Setup ====== &B: Speed 9600 Sets the communication speed for the serial line. Any speed from 50 to 115,200 Bd can be set. To set 9600 Bd, enter “&B9600”. The resolution depends on the speed. Up to about 1000 Bd, 1 Bd steps can be used.

  • Page 24 I/O Controller 2 Manual HW group &I: RS485/RS422 control Off For RTS or downstream RS485 converters that use RTS to toggle transmission/reception. For the built-in RS-485 driver, the “HW echo” option applies, meaning that the device reads back the data sent to the RS- 485 line and generates an echo from the actual RS-485 bus.
