3.2 Connecting the TSM24S/Q Communications
The TSM24S/Q is available with two types of serial communications, RS-232 (TSM24S/Q -3AG)
or RS-485 (TSM24S/Q -3RG). Each type requires a different hardware connection for interface to
a PC or other Host system. The RS-232 version comes with a cable that will provide the interface
to an RS-232 port through a DB9 style connector. The RS-485 version requires the user to provide
both the cabling and the RS-485 interface. Below are descriptions of how to interface both of
these serial communication types to a PC.
3.2.1 Connecting to the PC using RS-232
Locate the TSM24S/Q within 1.5 meters of the PC. Plug the DB9 connector of the communication
cable that came with the drive into the serial port of the PC. Plug the small end into the crimp style
connector on the TSM24S/Q . Secure the cable to the PC with the screws on the DB9 connector.
Note: If the PC does not have an RS-232 serial port, a USB Serial Converter will be needed.
You can contact MOONS’ to buy a USB to RS-232 converter.
The RS-232 circuitry does not have any extra electrical “hardening” and care should be taken
when connecting to the RS-232 port as hot plugging could result in circuit failure. If this is a
concern the RS-485 version should be used.
