5: Serial Communication Wiring
5.1: Communication Overview
The figure below shows serial communication options.
Figure 5.1: Serial Communication
RS232 communication is used to connect a single Nexus® 1262/1272 meter with
another device, such as a computer, RTU or PLC. The link is viable for up to 50 feet
(15.2 m) and is available only through the meter’s Optical port with a communication
interface (Optical port to RS232 converter); see figures 5.2 and 5.3.
RS485 communication allows multiple meters to communicate with another device at
a local or remote site. The I/O modules and external displays use RS485 to communi-
cate with the meter. All RS485 links are viable for up to 4000 feet (1220 m). The
Nexus® Socket meter’s Ports 1 and 4 are two-wire, RS485 connections (up to 115200
baud). Optional Communication Connections for INP200 (10/100BaseT connection) or
INP202 (Combination Modem and Ethernet) are cables with appropriate connectors
(see Chapter 6 and Figure 6.2).
