COM Expansion Board Description
Overview
The figure shows the COM Expansion Board:
1 LED
2 Switch
A terminating resistor for the serial interface is already integrated on the interface
module. There is a switch to connect or disconnect the terminating resistor, but the
Industrial Personal Computer unit needs to be opened in order to reach it. An active
terminating resistor is indicated by a yellow LED.
Serial Interface
The serial interface of the COM Expansion Board is a combined RS-232C/RS-
422/RS-485 interface with D-SUB 9 pin connector.
The operating mode (RS-232C/RS-422/RS-485) is selected automatically,
depending on the electrical connection. The serial interface and COM Expansion
Board use a different pin assignment for RS-232C communication.
When using the COM Expansion Board for RS-232C communication, pins 1, 4, 6
and 9 are not connected to anything.
The table provides the technical data of the serial interface:
