3.15 Connecting the dry pumping system for serial communications
3.15.1 Serial port connection
The dry pumping systems have two 5-way XLR sockets that can be used to connect the
pump for the serial communications. The user can connect by the PDT connector on the
front of the pump, (refer to Figure: Front panel controls item 11) and by the system
interface on the rear of the pump (refer to Figure: The controls/connectors on the rear of
the pump (system with rear exhaust and castors/levelling feet fitted) item 5).
An adaptor cable, part number D373-70-754, is available as an accessory. The cable is
2 m long with a 5-way XLR plug on one end and a 9-way D connector socket on the
other, allowing connection from the dry pumping system to a standard COM port on a
computer. Should the user prefer to make their adaptor cable, refer to Table: Electrical
connections for the pin-out of the XLR connectors.
Note:
Some personal computers no longer come equipped with a standard 9 way D connector
COM port. In this case, a USB to RS232 adaptor can be obtained.
For information about using SIM protocol with a serial port, refer to How to use SIM
protocol with a serial port on page 155.
3.15.2 Ethernet connection
Connect the Ethernet cable to the pump by the Ethernet connection on the rear of the
pump. Refer to Figure: The controls/connectors on the rear of the pump (system with
rear exhaust and castors/levelling feet fitted) item 3.
Refer to How to set up the Ethernet port on page 151 for information on how to set up
and use the Ethernet port.
