Serial interfaces - Functions
The DLT-V83 is equipped with two externally accessible serial interfaces COM1 and COM2. Resources
for the serial interfaces are pre-defined in the system architecture and automatically managed by the
BIOS.
7.3.1.
COM1 as a voltage source (optional)
The COM1 interface can optionally supply to externally connected equipment with +5 V or +12 V of
power. The voltages are protected by internal fuses and may not exceed a continuous consumed current
of 1 A at +5 V resp. +12 V. Depending on the connected devices, the maximum current consumption
may be significantly lower.
7.3.2.
COM2 as EIA-422/485 (optional)
A basic function (RX, TX) EIA-422/485 interface can be integrated optionally into the DLT-V83 as serial
interface.

Network adapter (10/100/1000)
The DLT-V83 is equipped with a 10/100/1000 Mbit network adapter with 10/100/1000 Mbit per second.
This adapter can be accessed via the bottom of the device and offers an RJ45 connection jack. The
RJ45 connection port has two integrated status LEDs and are assigned as follows:

Problems with data transmission via LAN/Ethernet
If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not detected), the
cause of these problems may be a cable which is too long. Depending on the cable layout and
interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the
specification (IEEE 802.3 standard). The solution here is the use of a shorter cable.
