Connection Without Control Cables
If the data traffic via the COM interface is to be controlled exclusively via the data
lines, a connecting cable as described below is sufficient for connecting your
FM 456-2 to a PG/PC.
If the free COM interface of your PG/PC has a 9-pin Sub-D connector, you can use
Table 2-5 for the pin assignments of the connecting cable.
