The Communication Setup menu is to set the communication parameter in order to communicate with
a personal computer or any other device supporting a serial interface. It supports the protocol of the
Modbus-ASCII method.
TS500 Thermal Shock Test Controller always works as a slave on the communication protocol, and
the host side needs a program for communication. You can choose RS232 or RS485 as the port for
serial communication you also can select and set the up/down arrow buttons and boxes in person for
the items including the communication speed, device number (1 – 247), and the response delay time
(0 – 100). (Refer to the Cable Connection Diagram in Chapter 1 for how to connect the communication
cable between equipments.)
When using the EM310, which is an external storage device (using the RS232 port), you can use only
the RS485 port as serial communication.
