Page 19: Establishing The Data Connection (Cable)
An input / output connector in the form of an RJ45 socket is located on the rear of the NOVION® control gear for communication and data exchange with the device. The function of the contacts of this socket is explained in the following figure. The socket is connected to a PC via the supplied RJ45 connection cable and the supplied RJ45 / Sub-D9 adapter. -
Page 20: Establishing The Data Connection (Bluetooth)
The terminal device used must search for Bluetooth devices. As soon as the NOVION® operating device is visible in the list of found devices, pairing can take place. Afterwards, a "virtual" serial interface (COM port) is available. The remaining communication is identical to the wired serial connections. -
