5.4.9 Pin assignment of communication interfaces The MCS-06 has curently three communication interfaces (RS232, CAN, Profibus DP). The controller can be actuated with the SCHUNK Motion Protocol (SMP) via these interfaces. • Information on the SMP ( 5.4.3, Page 36) All communication interfaces can be connected at the same time, however, only one of them may be active.
