This type of communication offersconvenient access to all user available parameters. There are two methods for interfacing through the RS232 connections:1. A Windows PC Interface program is available that allows reading and writing to all user available functions and parameters.2. A Command Line Interface through a HyperTerminal (MS) type program will access all functions and parameters (see RS232 InterfaceReference Table on the following pages).In both cases the parameters are accessed directly through the RS232 terminals. Depending on the hardware configuration selected, theRS232 signals are available through any of the following:1. M12 pins - for units supplied with M12 power and output (I/O) connector2. 8-wire cable units - for units supplied with cable pigtail, terminate to 3 wires3. 2.5mm phone jack connector - available on remote mount units onlyIMPORTANT NOTE: RS232 RxD, RS232 TxD and SIGNAL RETURN (3-connections) must be used to for effectivecommunication.An RS232 to 9 pin serial (DB9) to USB interface cable is available from FCI to connect directly to a PC or PLC.
