Ethernet to captive screw insertion
Open an associated UART port to send serial data to its captive screw connector. The
control system connects via LAN port to the PowerCage 401 enclosure LAN port. The
device being controlled connects to the selected RS-232 captive screw port of that same
unit. The user must configure the endpoint for Ethernet to Captive Screw RS232 Insertion
via PCS.
Example of an Ethernet to captive screw system
•
The control system is connected to the PowerCage enclosure LAN port (figure 8).
•
The control system then sends a control command through the receiver captive screw
port in slot #2 to the display to take some action.
•
The response from the display is sent back to the control system.
