16 UMC 600IS Installation Manual
3.2 Serial Port Configuration
Serial Port 1 is an ASCII-compatible, 20 mA current loop output that is compatable with most printers,
scoreboards, and other remote devices. (Port 2 is not available). Port 1 output can be disabled, set for demand
mode, or set to continuous output data and is optically isolated through the intrinsically safe I/O barrier.
Table 3-7 shows the configuration selections for Parameter 14, which controls the configuration of Port 1. There
is no external access to Port 2 and it should therefore be disabled (Parameter 14.5 set to OFF).
NOTE
: RS232 communication is not available from the UMC 600IS. If RS232 is required, it is recommended that the
Analog Option P/N 19578 be ordered and have U14, C6, C7, C8 and C9 installed.
All serial characters in the data format are in ASCII and consist of the following default settings:
