Eltek Smartpack - RS232 Module Options and Signals

2 The Smartpack Controller
14 User’s Guide Smartpack Monitoring & Ctrl Unit, 350003.013, v5-2006-11
Smartpack Controller ⎯ RS232
The Smartpack controllers – in RS232 option, Art 242100.111 (front access) and Art
242100.112 (rear access) – allow remote system monitoring and control by connecting
to the RS232 port either a modem or Eltek’s stand-alone WebPower unit (Ethernet
support).
RS232 option Front Access
Figure 13 The Smartpack controller, RS232 option, front. Front and rear connections
The Smartpack’s standard and front-access RS232 options offer otherwise the same
functionality.
RS232 option Rear Access
Figure 14 The Smartpack controller, RS232 option, rear. Front and rear connections
The Smartpack’s standard and rear-access RS232 options offer otherwise the same
functionality, except for the Battery Connections on CON3, which are replaced by the
RS232 plug-in-kit.
Thus the rear-access RS232 module option supports fewer battery connections – seven
battery monitoring input circuits less. See Figure 5, page 8.
RS232 Port Signals
The RS232 ports on the front-access and the
rear-access module options are electrically
identical.
Connect an end of the RS232 cable to the
Smartpack’s RS232 port, and the other end to
the modem’s or WebPower’s RS232 port.
Verify that both units have the same
communication parameters (Baud rate, parity,
etc.)
