Connecting the serial interface
To set the operating parameters of the BUC, the BUC must be
connected to a terminal (for example, a Hand-held Controller
6560, a Remote Controller 6570, a PC, or an organiser
emulating a terminal).
The connection may be permanent as part of the installation or
temporary for the purpose of setting the operating parameters
of the BUC.
Permanent interface connection
A permanent interface connection can be provided via the
monitor and control interface of the BUC (see Figure 13 on
page 41). The RS232 serial interface may only be used for
distances less than 15 m. The RS422/485 serial interface may
be used for distances up to approximately 1 km.
The Remote Controller 6570 is designed as a permanent
interface connection and is supplied with a standard 50 m
cable.
Temporary interface connection
A serial interface cable is available to connect the BUC to the
RS232 serial port of a PC or an organiser emulating a
terminal, or you may connect a Hand-held Controller 6560.
If using a PC, connect the cable between the M/C connector of
the BUC and the serial port of the PC. This cable provides a
14-way female MS-style connector to 9-way D-type female
connector for connection to the PC. If connection to a 25-way
D-type serial port is required, use a standard 25-way female to
9-way male adaptor.
