6.1.4 Serial interfaces
The NK8237.2 model is equipped with two serial lines available on the main board.
The serial port can be configured as an RS232 interface using connector COM1
and COM2, or as an RS485 interface using connectors X104 and X105.
All lines are fully RS232 compliant and have EMC/ESD protection.
No galvanic isolation is provided; all serial lines have a common ground.
6.1.5 Onboard I/O
The NK823x main board is equipped with three digital inputs (X102) and one relay
output (X101).
The relay output can be used for reporting a faulty communication detected by a
watchdog timeout expiration (see General gateway parameters [➙ 54]).
