2.5 Connecting Communication Cables
The 717plus Autosampler communicates with other LC system components via the
following connections on the rear panel of the autosampler (Figure 2-4
):
• Terminal Strip – Contact closure signals from the terminal on the back panel provide
communication with non-IEEE-488 LC components.
• IEEE-488 – Communicates with a system controller over the IEEE network.
• RS-232 – Provides information to RS-232 based data systems such as the Waters
746 Data Integrator.
This section describes the communication connections listed above.
