Chapter 3
Configuring the Serial Converter
Module
Chapter 3 provides instructions and information for configuring the
serial converter module.
For a list of parameters, refer to Appendix B, Serial Converter Module
Parameters. For definitions of terms in this chapter, refer to the Glossary.
The serial converter module stores parameters and other information in
its own non-volatile memory. You must, therefore, access the module to
view and edit its parameters. The following tools can be used to access
the module parameters.
Important: The RS-485 serial port on DSI products, such as PowerFlex
4 and 40 drives, does not need to be configured before using
the serial converter module. DSI communications are
configured automatically (19.2K baud and 8-N-1).
