Channel 1

Channel 2

Interface

RS-232C or RS-422

RS-232C

Transmission mode

Full-duplex

Synchronizing

Start-stop method (asynchronous)

Transmission speed

300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 bps

Frame format

Start bit
Data
Parity
Stop bit

1 bit
7 or 8 bits
even / odd / none
1 or 2 bits

Transmission code

ASCII

Message length

Max. 896 bytes

Configuration

One to one (Note)

Transmission distance

Max. 15 m (RS-232C)
Max. 1 km (RS-422)

Max. 15 m

Connector

D-sub 25-pin female

Note) In case of RS-422 interface, multiple devices can be connected to one AS311

if the connected RS-422 devices work as slave stations and support multi-point

connection. That is, the connected RS-422 devices must have the transmission

generators which support the passive state. Also, the RS-422 devices must

support the message format which contains the selecting address. In this case,

the number of the connected RS-422 devices is limited up to 10.

On the other hand, the AS311’s transmission generator does not support the

passive state. Therefore the AS311 must be the master station in the one-to-N

configuration.
