8. More Settings and Queries via the RS-232 Interface
(does apply to X1TA101MHT88)
The interface makes use of the software handshake procedure. All settings can be configured at a PC and
uploaded to the device. RS-232 interface connections RxD (5) and TxD (4) are linked to minus (pin 3, green),
and can be connected to the corresponding terminals at the communication partner.
Interface configuration:
Adjustable baud rate, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
Plug connectors included with the wenglor S232W3 plug adapter:
• 8-pin M12 plug connector for connecting the power supply and the outputs
• 8-pin M12 socket connector for direct Sensor connection
• 9-pin M12 subminiature socket connector for direct connection to the RS-232 interface at the PC,
or the utilized controller
