RS-232/Term Connector (on 030 Module)
The RS-232/Term connector is a DE-9P 9-pin male connector that is pin-compatible with
the serial connector for AT compatible computers. The pin assignments and locations are
shown below.
The port supports DTR, DSR, RTS, and CTS signals, used for “hardware handshake”, also
known as “modem control”. By default, these signals are not enabled. To configure the
port speed and other communications parameters, use the
CONFIG_C
utility program, the
V
+
FSET
program instruction or the
FSET
monitor command. This port is designated
LOCAL.SERIAL:2
.
Used in an S-Series System
If the controller is an S-Series model, then the customer-supplied ASCII or ANSI terminal
plugs into this connector on the main system processor; see Table 5-3 and the terminal
installation information in section 3.9. If you have more than one processor module, the
terminal is always connected to the main system module (in slot 1).
Used in an A-Series System
If the controller is an A-Series model, then this connector can be used for general serial
communication. However, you can redirect the monitor output of an A-Series system to
this connector on the 030 module using a DIP switch on the SIO module; see section 7.2
for information on that switch.
