When used in RS-232 mode, the pin out of this port is wired in the same way as a PC serial
“COM” port (i.e. using DTE signal directions), and compatible with any standard RS-232
peripherals and cabling.
Supports data transfer rates of up to 115200 baud in RS-232/RS-485 mode.

• 150ohm termination resistor is fitted across pins 2 and 3, when in RS-485/RS-422 mode,
and pins 7 and 8 permanently.
• Pins 7 and 8 will have RS-422 signal levels (+/-5V) present on them when configured in
RS-232 or RS-485 mode.
• RTS and CTS handshaking protocol is not available on this port. PC Serial ports should
be configured to use no handshaking.
Port C & D Details
Signals are fully isolated and voltage transient protected with respect to the communications
power supply.
Supports data transfer rates of up to 115200 baud in RS-232/RS-485 mode.
