Fig. 12: ID 40/SLK serial interface
The RS232 socket on the SLK can be directly connected to the COM port of a PC
or laptop with a diagnostic cable (accessory 3 842 406 117). Modern PC systems
sometimes do not have an RS232-COM port. In this instance, an RS232 USB adapter
can be used to connect the ID 40/SLK. These adapters do not come with the ID 40
system and can be purchased from a retailer.
Note the PC's protective disconnector when connecting the RS232 to the PC,
otherwise current loops can occur through the grounding conductor (GND).
The ID 40 system offers a web server with SLK software versions 4.00 and higher
(see Chapter 10 "Web interface"). The browser on a connected computer can be
used to configure critical parameters for the fieldbus connection, such as node
numbers or baud rates, and read and write MDT data - even while exchanging data
through the fieldbus.
If the serial interface is not needed, screw the included cap onto the socket to
ensure the protection class.
