Since the RS-232 ports on the encoders and decoders are set to RS-232 Gateway by default,
you need to change their settings before routing RS-232 signals between encoders and
decoders.
To route the RS-232 signal you need to perform the following actions:
• Defining RS-232 Operation on the Encoder/Decoder on page 23.
• Routing the RS-232 Signal on page 24.
Defining RS-232 Operation on the Encoder/Decoder
Configure RS-232 to enable RS-232 signals pass-through to a specific connected device.
To define RS-232 Operation on the encoder/decoder:
1. In the Navigation pane, click Control. The Control>Settings page appears.
2. Select RS-232 Settings.
Figure 20: Control > Settings Page – RS-232 Settings
3. Click Disable to disable RS-232 gateway.
4. Define the RS-232 gateway port (5001, by default).
5. Enter the Baud Rate: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 (default).
6. Enter the Data Bits: 5, 6, 7 or 8 (default).
7. Enter Parity: None (default), Odd or Even.
8. Enter Stop Bits: 1 (default) or 2.
9. Click SAVE.
RS-232 Gateway is configured to enable RS-232 signal pass-through to a connected
RS-232 device.
