Configure Your Kinetix 3
Drive for RS-232
Communication with a
Personal Computer
The Kinetix 3 drive communication port, Comm0A and Comm0B, can be
configured for RS-232 communication. Use RS-232 communication when you
plan to communicate with the drive by using your personal computer and
Ultraware software.
The following schematic shows the cable pinouts for RS-232 communication. If
you are not using the pre-made RS-232 Serial Communication Cable, catalog
number 2090-CCMPCDS-23AAxx, use this schematic to make your own cable.
