Figure 7 – RS-232 Port
The OCS units feature an RS-232 port (Programming/Debug) for connection to a personal computer.
This port is used for the purposes of OCS programming, configuring, monitoring, and debugging. This
port can also be used for general ladder logic controlled serial communications to printers, modems,
terminals, etc. When ladder has control of this port, it is not available for programming or debugging. The
wiring diagram for the RS-232 port is shown in Figure 8. If a permanent connection is to be made
between the OCS and the personal computer, the use of a shielded, multiple conductor wire with a
maximum length of 15.24 meters (50 feet) enables proper performance.
