Single SeaKing Sensor in RS232
The V5 SCU can support direct connection of a single node to a dedicated RS232 port.
Connection can be made through the DA-15 connector (if it is wired for RS232
communications) or through one of the standard DE-9 ports, such as PORT A shown above.
This configuration is single head so subsea networking is not possible.
Multiple Sensors Connected to the SCU
The connection of multiple serial sensors to a single V5 SCU is possible. Each sensor must
feed into the SCU on its own port:
Connection should be made through the DE-9 connectors A through D, each wired for serial
communications as shown in Appendix A,
(the chosen serial standard,
RS232, RS422 or RS485 will depend on the sensor in use - note that only port B can use
RS422.
