AutoMate R-Net Gateway
The target display interface to the R-Net AutoMate Gateway is an asynchronous RS-232/422 serial port
with switch-selectible communication rates from 110 to 19.2 K Baud. The R-Net AutoMate Gateway
buffers messages in both directions allowing the transmission of messages on R-Net without waiting for
each response from each processor. The R-Net Gateway node number is assigned by the target display
from information found in the setup menus. The target display is responsible for originating and
receiving commands, for configuring the Gateway, for processing of response (ACK/NAK) frames, for
computing and verifying check sums, and for matching response to commands.
The R-Net Gateway does not retain its parameters when power is lost. The target display will set the
Gateway parameters if the power is lost and restored.
If you connect the target display to the Gateway using RS232-C, then the TCP cable HMI-CAB-C53
will work.
