PCAN-LIN – User Manual
2.2
D-Sub Female Connector for RS-232
Via the RS-232 interface the PCAN-LIN module is linked to a compu-
ter or another monitoring or control unit. A computer can be con-
nected to the PCAN-LIN module via a normal RS-232 extension
cable with 9-pin D-Sub connectors (no null modem cable).
For the serial communication only the two data lines and the
ground connection are required; handshake lines are not used.
The RS-232 connection of the opto-decoupled PCAN-LIN model is
galvanically separated from the other electronic circuits in the
module. The maximum separation voltage is 1 kV.
