-
dows software from a PC or
from any kind of controller us
-
ing a RS232 interface.
Note:The basic MAC motor
does not fully support RS232
since the interface signals are
only 5V levels. See also the ba

sic description - Serial interface,
page 111.
When connecting the RS232
interface to a PC or control

be followed:
1 Only one motor can be
connected at the interface
line.
2 Use screened cable.
3 Ensure that GND is also
connected.
4 Ensure that all units have a
proper connection to safety ground (earth) in order to refer to the same potential.
5 The RS232 interface cable length should not exceed 10 metres.
Connectors:
