RS-232 Modbus Connections
Connect to the RX, TX, and ground pins of the controller’s 3-pin RS-232 port. (See page 36 for RS-232
DIP switch settings.)
Table 19 (page 124) identifies the pins. For connections on other device, refer to its product manual.
For multiple devices on RS-232, use an approved RS-232-to-RS-485 converter.
Use HC Designer software to configure the controller’s RS-232 port as a master or slave.
