NOTE: To configure the master, a GSD file (device description file) is required. The settings in the
used master must comply with the settings in the slave to establish communication. The main
parameters are: Station address, ID number, baudrate, and config data (the configuration data for
the output and input length).
Connections
This interface is used to connect Slim Panel to remote equipment, via a cable. The connector is a
D-Sub 9-pin plug connector.
If you use a long PLC cable to connect to the Slim Panel, the cable can be at an electrical potential
that is different from the electrical potential of the panel, even if both are connected to ground.
The table shows the D-Sub 9-pin assignments:
Any excessive weight or stress on communication cables may disconnect the equipment.
Device Manager and Hardware Installation
Install the driver before you install the interface module into the Slim Panel. The driver installation
media is included with the package. After the interface module is installed, you can verify whether
it is properly installed on your system through the Device Manager.
