The communication between the PI50 and PI60 Receiver Units and the Processor Unit
is made using a (1:1) serial line. All serial line communication is based on specific
transmission parameters. These parameters must be defined at each end of the line, and they
must be set up identical.
Prerequisites
The Receiver Unit is physically connected to the Processor Unit using a serial cable.
