Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when constructing RS-232
communication cables:

Ensure that DCD is high to transmit (except when dialing a modem)
 Verify that each RS-232 transceiver has one active receiver while
disabled (in power down mode); connect the DCD signal to the
active receiver.
 Set CTS to high to transmit.
 If the port is set for full-duplex operation, RTS is always ON.
 Ensure that DTR is always high when port is active; DTR enables
RS-232 transceivers.
Note
:
Control DTR using the PORTCONTROL function block and
the _P
n
_AUTO_DTR system variable in your ControlWave
project. If you turn DTR off through these mechanisms, the
port remains off, even though hardware is fully configured.
 When port is set for half-duplex operation, CTS must go low after
RTS goes low.
 All RS-232 comm ports support RTS, DTR, CTS, DCD, and DSR
control signals.
 All RS-232 comm port I/O signals are protected by surge protectors.
