SICK RFU62 Series

Wiring the serial data interfaces (RFU62x-101xx/RFU62x-104xx)
The maximum data transmission rate for the serial interface depends on the length of
cable and on the type of interface. Observe the following recommendations:
Table 16: Serial interfaces: data transmission rates
Interface Data transmission rate Distance to the target computer
(host)
RS-232 Up to 19.2 kBd
38.4 kBd ... 57.6 kBd
115.2 kBd … 500 kBd
Max. 10 m
Max. 5 m
< 2 m
RS-422/485
1)
Up to 38.4 kBd
38.4 kBd ... 57.6 kBd
57.6 kBd … 500 kBd
Max. 1,200 m
Max. 500 m
Max. 10 m
1)
For RS-422/485-suitable cable and corresponding cable termination as per specification.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the internal interface modules!
If the serial data interfaces are wired incorrectly, then electronic components in the
device could get damaged.
