RS-232 / RS-485 Communications
Serial Connector — A 9-pin D-connector (optional) is provided on the back panel of the Chiller for RS232 / RS485
data communication. A serial cable that uses only the following pins should be used to connect the Chiller to the
computer:
RS-232 RS-485
Pin # 2 data read (data from computer) Pin # 3 DAT (+) on “B”
Pin # 3 data transmit (data to computer) Pin # 5 signal ground
Pin # 5 signal ground Pin # 9 DAT (-) on “A”
RS-232 / RS-485 Protocol — The controller uses the following RS-232 / RS-485 protocol:
Data bits — 8
Parity — none
Stop bits — 1
Flow control — none
Baud rate — selectable (Chiller and PC baud rates must match).
Communications Commands — Commands must be entered in the exact format shown. Do not send a [LF] (line
feed) after the [CR] (carriage return). Be sure to follow character case exactly. A question mark (?) indicates that
the Chiller could not execute the command (either because it was in an improper format or the values were
outside the allowable range). A response followed by an exclamation point (!) indicates that a command was
executed correctly. A response must be received from the Chiller before another command can be sent. All
responses are terminated with a single [CR].
