3.11 RS422/RS485 connections (CX20x0N031)
The CX20x0N030 system interface provides an RS422 or RS 485 interface, COM1 (X300). It is
implemented on a 9pole SubD socket strip. If more than one interface is required the system can be
extended via the Terminal Bus (K or Ebus) or Bus Terminals (KL/EL6021) which provide serial interfaces.
The pin assignment is shown at the bottom of the page.
The maximum baud rate on both channels is 115 kbit. The interface parameters are set via the operating
system or from the PLC program.

PIN Signal Type Description
2 TxD+ DataOut + Transmit 422
3 RxD+ DataIn + Receive 422
5 GND Ground Ground
6 VCC VCC +5V
7 TxD DataOut Transmit 422
8 RxD DataIn Receive 422
For RS 485 pins 2 and 3 (data +) must be connected, and pins 7 and 8 (data ).
Setting the interface parameters
The interface is parameterised as follows in the delivery condition
