2.3 Communication Ports
A DVP-20PM series motion controller is equipped with COM1 (RS-232 port), COM2 (RS-485 port), and a
communication card (COM3 (RS-232 or RS-485 communication)).
COM1: It is an RS-232 port. It can function as a slave station. A program is edited through this port. COM1
can be used in a Modbus ASCII mode or an RTU mode.
COM2: It is an RS-485 port. It can function as a master station or a slave station. It can be used in a
Modbus ASCII mode or an RTU mode.
COM3: It is an RS-232/RS-485 port. It can function as a slave station. It can be used in a Modbus ASCII
mode.

2.3.1 COM1 (RS-232 Port)
1. COM1 is an RS-232 port. Users can upload the program in a DVP-20PM series motion controller
through COM1, and download a program to DVP-20PM series motion controller through COM1. The
communication protocols that COM1 supports are Modbus ASCII and Modbus RTU, and the
transmission rate supported is in the range of 9,600 bps to 115,200 bps.
The communication cable DVPACAB2A30 is described below.
