4.5   -WX 5-Pin Circular I/O Connector Pin-Out 

A)

 

RS-232 serial cable for –WX version 

The RS-232 serial cable uses at Hirose connector, part number HR30-6P-6S(71).   

 

B)

 

RS-422 Connector Pin-Out on –WX 5-Pin Circular Connector 

If the RS422 option is installed in the M7 (-WX option), then the RS422 signals are connected to 
the 5-pin water proof connector as shown below.
