Connectors on the IOCN card
CONFIGURATION OF CPUM / IOCN CARDS
13.6.3 RS, A and B connectors
The 6-pin 6P6C (RJ11/RJ25) RS connector supports RS-232 or RS-485 communication with
the rack.
The 6-pin 6P6C (RJ11/RJ25) group A and group B connectors support RS-485
communication with the rack. (Alternatively, the group A connectors only can be used to
support RS-232 communication with the rack (see 13.5.1 Linking the RS and A serial
communications connectors)).
The pin connections (pinouts) for the 6-pin 6P6C (RJ11/RJ25) connectors are shown in
Figure 13-12.
The pin connections (pinouts) depend on how the serial communications are configured:
RS-232, half-duplex RS-485 or full-duplex RS-485 (see 13.2 Configuring RS serial
communications and 13.3 Configuring A and B serial communications).
