The  RS  232  connection  consists  of  a  modular  jack (a phone style plug), cable and 9-pin adapter.  To connect 
the  RS232  port,  plug  one  end  of  the  interface  cable  (with  the  RJ11  phone  plugs)  into  the  RS232  jack  on  the 
Color I/O and the other end into the 9-pin adapter.  Plug the adapter into the RS232 communications port on 
the PC.  Place the slide switch on the Color I/O to “RS232”. 
 
The USB connection consists of a USB B jack on the Color I/O and a USB interface cable.  To connect the USB 
port, plug one end of the cable into the USB B jack on the Color I/O and the other end into the USB port on the 
PC.  Place the slide switch on the Color I/O to “USB” 
 
In addition to a power indicator LED, there are 2 LEDs associated with each channel.  The LEDs are arranged in 
2 columns, one labeled PNP and the other labeled NPN.  The PNP LED indicates that a channel output is high, 
connected  to  sensor  V+,  while  the  NPN  indicates  that  a  channel  output  is  low,  connected  to  sensor  ground.  
Operation of the discrete channel outputs is dependent on whether the Match output is set to high or low for a 
particular  channel.    Both  PNP  and  NPN  LEDs  will  be  illuminated  for  channels  that  are  not  connected  to  the 
Color I/O board such as models ColorMax-1000-1 and ColorMax-1000-4. 
 
It  is  not  necessary  for  the  Color  I/O  board  to  be  used;  all  sensor  connections  may  be  routed  directly  to  the 
appropriate devices such as a PLC.
