232 serial interface. In addition, the left-hand connector (skt A) has connections
for the Fibre-Optic Adapter and skt B contains the RS-485 multi-drop terminals
(addressed as port 2).
Below the serial port connectors is the built in USB port.

PC running Motion Perfect for programming. As an option, Motion Perfect may
be connected via USB.
