Connecting to a SY/MAX • Connect up to 32 POWERLOGIC devices to a programmable
controller. See Length of the Communications Link in this chapter for
distance limitations at different baud rates.
• Connect POWERLOGIC devices to the RS-422 port of the programmable
controller.
• The programmable controller must contain a program to access
POWERLOGIC device data.
• Configure the baud rate of the programmable controller’s port to match
the baud rate of the POWERLOGIC devices on the communications link.
• Refer to the programmable controller instruction manual for detailed
instructions on configuring the programmable controller.
Note: POWERLOGIC devices can be connected to other manufacturer’s
systems using available communication interfaces. For further information,
contact the POWERLOGIC Technical Support Center. See Getting Technical
Support in Chapter 5.
