Chapter 1 Hardware Overview
Embedded RS232/RS485 Serial Port Combo
The Micro820 controller supports an embedded non-isolated RS232/RS485
combo communications port. Only one port (RS232 or RS485) can work at any
given time. The baud rate of this port supports up to 38.4 K.
The communication port uses a 6-pin 3.5 mm terminal block with pin definition
shown in the following table.
The communication port (both RS232 and RS485) are non-isolated. The signal
ground of the port is not isolated to the logic ground of the controller.
The RS232 port supports connection to the Micro800 Remote LCD module
(2080-REMLCD).
Serial port cables should not exceed 3 m length.
