3.2 Serial Connections

The communications option supports RS-232 and RS-485. RS-232 is a standard serial
communication, used on personal computers. It has a limited cable distance and is
susceptible to electrical noise. RS-485 serial communications allow longer distances and
allow multiple devices to be connected to the same serial network. Terminal Block (TB10) is
for the RS-485 connections, and Terminal Block (TB11) is for the RS-232 connections.
3.2.1 RS-232
Set configuration switch S1-5 to OFF to select RS-
232. Configuration switch S1-6 enables or disables
the RTS and CTS handshaking lines. Terminal block
TB11 is for the RS-232 user connections. In each section for RS-232 3-wire and 5-wire
installation, a typical connection diagram is shown. Each diagram shows the pin-out used
for a standard personal computer (PC) for either a 25-pin or 9-pin serial connection.
