4-8 PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition
Installing and Operating the Workstation 2015
The IO Panel
The IDN port contains both RS422 and RS232 interfaces that can be
configured as a full-duplex RS422 interface to support IDN printing devices. It
can also be configured as two-wire RS232 interface to support a number of
peripheral devices. Use cable P/N 300319-102 for RS232 devices, or
300319-036 (3ft.), or 300319-120 (10ft.) for IDN devices.
COM 5
COM5 is a full featured modular RS232 Interface. This port is identical in
function to COM5 port on the Workstation 5, Workstation 5A and PCWS
2010. Use RJ45 to RS232 DB9 Adapter Cable, P/N 300319-103.
+12V Out
This knock-out is reserved for a future optional external power connector.
WARNING:
Do not insert a 6-Pin modular plug into the 8-Pin IDN
port. A 6-Pin plug can push some pins out of position
where they can short to the connector shell and possibly
damage the IDN and or RS232 interface components.
Always use an 8-Pin modular plug when you connect
IDN or RS232 peripherals to the workstation.
