4.3 Connect TC1
There are two ways to connect the TC1:
ï‚· Manufacture your own connecting cable: The mating connector for wire harness see Pin Assignment (see
"Pin Assignment" on page 30), or
ï‚· Cabling for development purposes: Use the development box, see Development Box (see "Connect to
Development Box" on page 19)
4.4 Connect to Development Box
STW offers a development box for the TC1, for purchase see Additional Available Supplies (see "Additional
Available Supplies" on page 18).
How to connect the TC1 with your development system:
1. Directly plug in the TC1 in the 29 pin connector on top of the development box. See Pin Assignment (see
"Pin Assignment" on page 30) for further information.
2. Connect the development box to your computer. Use a straight-through cable with two 9 pins DSUB female
connectors. Connect one end of the RS232 cable with the RS232-1 connector of your development box.
Connect the other end of the cable to the COM1 port of your PC. You can also use a USB to RS232
converter (recommended converter from GIGAWARE).
3. Connect the development box to your network. Use a CAT 5 Ethernet cable. Connect the cable with the
RJ45-connector to the back of the development box. Connect the other end of the cable to a network
switch or router.
Use a cross over cable when connecting the development box to a hub or with a PC.
4. Connect the power supply to the back of the development box. See Additional Available Supplies (see
"Additional Available Supplies" on page 18) for a suitable power supply.
