Table 12- 29 Data types for the parameters
REQ IN Bool Get RS232 signal state values on the rising edge of this input (Default value:
PORT IN PORT After you install and configure a CM or CB communication device, the port
identifier appears in the parameter helper drop-list available at the PORT box
connection. The assigned CM or CB port value is the device configuration
property "hardware identifier". The port symbolic name is assigned in the
"System constants" tab of the PLC tag table.
NDR OUT Bool TRUE for one scan, when new data is ready and the operation is complete
TRUE for one scan, after the operation was completed with an error
Execution condition code (Default value: 0)
Data terminal ready, module ready (output). Default value: False
Data set ready, communication partner ready (input). Default value: False
Request to send, module ready to send (output). Default value: False
CTS OUT Bool Clear to send, communication partner can receive data (input). Default value:
False
Data carrier detect, receive signal level (always False, not supported)
Ring indicator, indication of incoming call (always False, not supported)

SGN_SET sets the states of RS232 communication
signals.
This function is valid only for the RS232 CM.
