RS232 / RS485 Communication
The control panel offers RS232 and RS485 communication via the IO card.
A standard IO card (not supplied) must be inserted in slot P2 of the backplane of the
panel, which facilitate RS232 and RS485 communication via terminal block P4 on
Terminal card. Note RS232 is PORT 0 and RS485 is PORT 1 when an IO card is
fi
tted
in slot P2. The domain address and communication baud rate are con
fi
gured by setting
the DIL switch located on the left edge of the Display Keyboard card.
