MAIN SERIAL INTERFACE
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the CBX spring
clamp terminal blocks.
The  main  serial  interface  type  and  its  parameters  (baud  rate,  data  bits,  etc.)  can  be
defined  by the user via DL.CODE software.  For more details refer to the Help On Line
page of the Reading Phase step (Channels) in DL.CODE.
Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next para-
graphs.
RS232 Interface
The  RS232  interface  is generally  used for Point-to-Point  connections.  When  it  is  con-
nected to the host computer it allows transmission of code data.
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection:
It is always advisable to use shielded cables. The overall maximum cable length must be
less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
