9.1.3 COM4
Connections to COM 4 are made through a RJ-45 connector. The wiring and pin connections for this
connector are described in section 9.2-RJ-45 Modular Connector for RS-232 below.
The following table shows the serial and protocol communication parameters supported by COM1.
These parameters are set from TelePACE, ISaGRAF Workbench or from an application program
running in the controller. Default values are set when a Cold Boot or Service Boot is performed on
the controller.
Parameter Supported Values

9.2 RJ-45 Modular Connector for RS-232
The serial communication ports on the 5232 controller board are labeled COM1, COM2 and COM4.
These are RS-232 serial ports using a 8-pin female RJ-45 connectors configured as Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE). The recommended specification for RS-232 cable length is a maximum of 50 feet
or 15.2 meters. Shielded cable must be used and the shield should be connected to chassis ground at
one end.
The following diagram shows the pin connections for the RS-232 (RJ-45) port connector for COM1,
COM2 and COM4.
