Serial interface
The device is equipped with a serial interface which is configurable as an RS232 or RS485 interface.
The interface supports the Modbus protocol (Modbus RTU) as a master or slave. Alternatively, a barcode
scanner may be connected.
For more information on using the serial interface with the Modbus protocol, see:
chapter 9.7 "Modbus frames for reading", Page 220
chapter 9.8 "Modbus frames for writing", Page 221
If you use the serial interface with a barcode scanner, please refer to the technical documentation for the
barcode scanner for the required settings.
Communication via Modbus is described in detail in the separate interface description.
