InadditiontoRS-232Cthe following twoother connectionmethods areavailable
to connect the PT tohost computer.Refer to
Appendix C Connections Using Dif-
ferent Cable Types
for more information on these connection methods.
RS-422
Use RS-422 connections if the PT is more than 15 m from the host computer.
Communication is possible up to 500 m through a multicore shielded cable.
Optical-fiber
Optical-fiber cable connections are used in situations where unstable commu-
nication occurs because of noise problems. Communication is possible up to
500 m through optical-fiber cable.
