2.1.2.2.4 J4 - Serial Remote Control

Designation PCB Pin Count Connector Type #
J4 "PCRC" 8 Phoenix Header 6
The J4 connector allows for optional serial remote control via either the RS-232 or RS-422 interface
standard.
NOTE: the remote control software option (3.1.5) must be present for this interface to be active.
The most common way for this interface to be used is to implement the RC4000's remote control protocol
as described in that software option's appendix. How the interface can be switched between the RS-232
and RS-422 standard will be described in that document.
Another way for this interface to be used is with the Handheld Remote Front Panel device described in
section 2.2.8. This device allows the mechanization of the basic keypad/LCD user interface, but at a
long distance by using the RS-422 serial interface.
NOTE: Serial & IP remote control are mutually exclusive.
