Communications Processing Flow

In a system configuration in which it is connected by Serial (RS-232C) communications to an external
device (such as PLC), serial commands can be received and reading results can be output to the ex-
ternal device.
Below is the basic flow for establishing the Serial (RS-232C) communications, executing a Read com-
mand and outputting the Read result.

RS-232C Wiring

There are two ways of wiring the F440-F/F430-F for RS-232C connection.
Using the RS-232C-I/O 2 Pronge cable (V430-WQR-3M)
The D-Sub 9 Pin connector can be connected directly to an IBM PC compatible Serial Port.
