Connections to Box Header (UART)
GND is the common digital GND for the PCB. The RX and the TX pins must be switched with the
Master Controller. I.e., TX (transmitting) from the Master controller must be connected to the RX
(receiving) pin on the ZD SERIES UART. The TX (transmitting) from the ZD SERIES UART must be
connected to the RX (receiving) of the Master Controller.
Connections for any serial Break Out Board (RS485 & RS232)
Connecting to the Break Out Boards.
A
=
Non-inverting receiver input and non-inverting driver output
B
=
Inverting receiver input and inverting driver output
GND =
Ground
Note - If shielded cables are used between the Master Controller and the ZikoDrive please ensure
only one end of the shielding is grounded to ensure no Ground loops.
CAUTION
–
supplying RS485 or RS232 signals directly to the UART pins will damage the controller. If
you need to use RS232 or RS485 please ensure you have the appropriate plug in board.
