SERIAL REMOTE CONTROL PROTOCOL

5.1. OVERVIEW

•

Four wire communications channel utilized - RS-422 levels. Alternate 2 wire interface using RS-

232C levels

•

Data transmitted asynchronously, bit serial, word serial with data exchange between the devices

being digital.

•

Transmission rate is selectable 38.4 K, 19.2K, 9600 Baud supported

•

Data words utilized by the interface shall be as follows:

1 START bit + 8 DATA bits +1 PARITY bit + 1 STOP bit.

The parity bit shall denote EVEN parity

5.1.1. Connector Pin Assignment

The serial port on the 5010 is configured at the factory for RS-232 communications. The serial port can
also be used with RS-422 communications by configuring internal jumpers as shown in Figure 6-7 for
the older style 5010s or Figure 6-8 for the newer style 5010s. The pin assignment for the serial port
when configured for RS-232 is shown in Table 5-1 and the pinout for the RS-422 is shown in Table 5-2.
