RS232 and one RS485. This module can be used to expand serial communication, send and receive data through the serial port, send the received serial bus data to the GCAN-PLC-400/510 series PLC controller through the internal bus, and write complex programs by calling the extended serial port function block to achieve complex Bus control requirements.
As shown in Figure 2.1, insert the GC-6101 module inwards along the slot until the latch snaps and clicks. The GC-6101 module needs to be used with GCAN-PLC-400 or GCAN-PLC- 510 series controllers, and can be directly powered by the controller, so there is no need to separately provide additional power to it.
