Serial Interface (RS-232C and RS-422/RS-485) for COM1/COM2

Introduction

NOTE: For information on how to connect controllers and other types of equipment, refer to the corresponding device driver manual of your screen editing software.

You can switch the communication method between RS-232C and RS-422/RS-485 via the software.

The serial interface is not isolated. The SG (signal ground) and FG (functional ground) terminals are connected inside this product. When the serial interface connector is D-Sub, connect the FG wire to the shell.

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE When using the SG terminal to connect an external device to this product: Verify that a ground loop is not created when you set up the system. Connect the SG terminal to remote equipment when the external device is not isolated. Connect the SG terminal to a known reliable ground connection to reduce the risk of damaging the circuit. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE

When using the SG terminal to connect an external device to this product:

Verify that a ground loop is not created when you set up the system.
Connect the SG terminal to remote equipment when the external device is not isolated.
Connect the SG terminal to a known reliable ground connection to reduce the risk of damaging the circuit.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION Do not put excessive stress on the communication ports of all connections. Securely attach communication cables to the panel wall or cabinet. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

NOTE: Use within the rated current.

*1 You can switch pin #9 between CI (RI) and VCC via the software. The VCC output is not protected against overcurrent. To prevent damage or malfunction, use only within the rated current.

*2 When using Open Box, use external equipment so that the sum of COM1 VCC output and COM2 VCC output totals 0.25 A.

Interfit bracket is #4-40 (UNC).
