COM1 Port

The

EZTouch I/O

has a built-in serial port (COM1 PORT) located on the 9-pin D-

Sub connector. COM1 PORT is an RS-232 port which requires an appropriate

RS-232C cable (

P/N: EZ-PGMCBL

) for programming the unit through a PC. It

serves

as the default programming port on the

EZTouch I/O Flex

. Since

COM1 has fixed

communication parameters, you can always connect the

programming software

to the PLC through the port without needing to

make different configuration

changes. In addition, this connection can be

utilized to update firmware when

needed.
