Slim Panel Interface Connections
Introduction
Serial Interface Connections
This interface is used to connect Slim Panel to remote equipment, via a serial interface cable. The
connector is a D-Sub 9-pin plug connector.
By using a long PLC cable to connect to the Slim Panel, it is possible that the cable can be at a
different electrical potential than the panel, even if both are connected to ground.
The Slim Panel serial port is not isolated. The shield ground and the functional ground terminals
are connected inside the panel.
