4.1.24 Connecting a Sereial Device
Devices other than PLCs can be connected by using the general-purpose serial communication mode of
the GT. Refer to the following regarding PLCs that are not included in this manual.
Connecting to the RS232C
Connecting to the RS422
Connecting to the RS485 (1:1 connection) (AIGT0032**)
Note:
• If noise is a problem, use a shielded cable and employ countermeasures such as installing a ferrite
core if necessary. Also take measures so that the shielding doesn’t peel off and noise such as static
electricity does not interfere.
• When connecting to a device other than our FP Series, the number of units, transmission distance and
baud rate my differ depending on the device connected. Verify with the device being used.
• The maximum cable length for RS232C type is 15 m, also RS422 (5 V) type is 30 m.
• The maximum transmission distance is 500 m for the 24 V RS422 type.
