Section 9. RS-232 Communications
The RS-232 serial communications are used with the camera for two purposes.
One is to configure and setup the camera using the Device Configuration
Utility software that Campbell Scientific provides. The other purpose is to
send image files from the camera to other devices using the PakBus protocol.
Check the PakBus Port value under the Communication Settings if you are not
sure that your camera has its internal jumpers configured to RS-232 or RS-485
(see FIGURE 9-1).
FIGURE 9-1. Serial PakBus Port Setting
The CC5MPX Power I/O port is configured by default to provide a 3-wire RS-
232 connection (Tx, Rx, Ground). The wires can be terminated directly on the
control ports of a compatible datalogger. For connection to a computer 9 pin
serial port, use the DB9M-TERM, which will facilitate the connection of the
cable’s pigtail end to a computer’s 9-pin serial port. The Adapter comes with
the CC5MPX as an accessory (see FIGURE 9-2).
Can be RS-232 or RS-
485
