Communication via the RS-232 Interface
The baud rate of E-727 for RS-232 communication is preset as follows:
Uart baud rate (parameter ID 0x11000400): 115200
Further possible values are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600.
To successfully establish communication, the baud rates of the E-727 and PC must match.
Establishing communication via RS-232
The procedure for PIMikroMove is described in the following. The procedure for other PC software
programs (PITerminal, drivers for use with NI LabVIEW software) is similar.
1. Start PIMikroMove.
The Start up controller window opens with the Connect controller step.
− If the Start up controller window does not automatically open, select the
Connections > New... menu item in the main window.
2. Select E-727 in the field for controller selection.
3. Select the RS-232 tab on the right side of the window.
4. In the COM Port field, select the COM port of the PC to which you have connected the E-727.
5. Set a suitable value in the Baudrate field to adapt the baud rate of the PC to the baud rate of
the E-727.
6. Click Connect to establish communication.
If communication has been successfully established, the Start up controller window switches
to the Start up axes step.
