Features of the serial converter include the following:
• Three status indicators (LEDs) report the operating status of the
module.
• Serial baud rates of 9600 bps, 19.2Kbps, and 38.4Kbps are
supported. 9600 bps is the factory default.
• The serial converter can connect to products implementing
SCANport such as 1336 PLUS II drives, or products implementing
DPI such as PowerFlex drives. When used with a product, the serial
converter will autobaud to the SCANport or DPI data rate that is
used by the product.
• The serial converter receives power from the connection to the
product. An outside power source is not needed.
• DriveExplorer (DPI products require version 2.01 or higher),
DriveTools 2000 (version 1.xx or higher), or terminal emulation
software can be used to configure a serial converter. In addition, a
PowerFlex HIM can be used to configure a serial converter that is
connected to a PowerFlex drive or other DPI product.
The serial converter can be used with Allen-Bradley products that
implement SCANport or DPI.
