9. Connection of Peripherals
To simplify the operation (especially the configuration) of the SUPREMA, a PC or laptop with
operating software can be connected via the RS 232-A port. A PC or laptop with MSA-Auer
visualization software can also be connected to the SUPREMA via the RS 232-A port.
A protocol printer can be connected via the RS 232-B interface.
9.1 Connection of a PC/Laptop
For this connection, you can use either the RS 232-A port on the MST module or the RS 232
port on the MDO module.
Attention: No more than one PC/laptop may be connected to the SUPREMA system
at one time, even if more than one RS232 port is available.
Connecting cable: RS 232 extension, 9-pin SUB-D connector, plug/jack (do not use a null
modem cable!).
To connect a PC/laptop to the MDO module, the front panel screwing has to be loosened, and
the front panel must be dropped.
Figure 9-1: MDO module, RS 232 port
The terminal assignment of the RS 232 port on the MDO module is the same as that used for
the RS 232-A port on the MST module
(see section 5.10 System Ports (MST Module).
The MST module is mounted on the rear of the rack, to the right on the outside.
