RS-232 COMMUNICATION  

The Xcom-232i is equipped with a serial port RS-232 which makes it possible to view and to program 
remotely  one  or  several  Xtenders  operating  in  a  system.  This  serial  port  allows  to  read  all 
information  that  can  be  displayed  on  the  remote  control’s  screen  and  also  to  modify  the 
configuration  parameters.  An  Xtender  system  can  therefore  be  connected  to  various  SCADA 
control and supervision devices (PC, programmable logic controller, microcontroller). 

 

Principle schematics of a typical application 

From a more technical point of view, the interface RS-232 allows for instance the data transmission 
with GSM modems, RS-232 bridges to TCP/IP or also with long distance converters RS-422. 

 

The specific protocol, easy, open and fully documented is available on request on 
www.studer-innotec.com/en/downloads/ (tab Softwares and Updates).
