5.9 COMM Port Hardware
The
MSI-8000
RS-232 Comm Port is used for software updates, connecting to a remote
display and for connecting to any RS-232 device.
Connector:
M12 industrial IP67 rated. An adapter cable (MSI P/N 503489) is required to
connect the
MSI-8000
to a computer. This adapter cable converts the 8000 connector to a
standard D9 serial connector. The 503489 cable can be converted to DTE by using a Null
Modem adaptor.
Data Configuration:
The data output is fixed at 8-1-N.
Baud Rate:
Programmable for 300 to 230.4<baud in 8 steps. The bootloader for updating
software is always 38.4k baud
Handshaking:
No hardware handshaking is supported. Xon/Xoff software handshaking is
always on.
It may be necessary to disconnect the shield drain wire at the D-9 connector frame to
prevent ground loops. Ground loops can cause unstable readings. In extreme cases it may
be necessary to use an isolated RS-232 interface.
