COM DB9 option
The serial port mode and voltage between Off/5V/12V on Pin 9 on Helix can be selected in the BIOS
configuration. The serial ports support RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 configurations. Refer to the BIOS
manual in Appendix C for configuration instructions.
CAN DB9 option
The CAN port on Helix 511 supports CAN2.0 A/B at baud rates from 100-1000 kbaud. The system
CAN port is not internally terminated, and a properly terminated ( 120 Ohms, typical ) cable should be
used. CAN messages may be sent and received via a virtual serial port over USB. Windows and Linux
drivers are in-box for this interface.
