If you will use RS-485 serial communication,
you must connect the RP240 to the
COM 1
connector (and connect the RP240's +5V lead
to the
+5V
terminal on the
I/O
connector).
In addition, you will have to issue these
commands to configure the APEX615n to
communicate successfully with the RP240
connected to
COM 1
and with
RS-485 connected to
COM 2
.
PORT1
........Select COM 1 as the affected port.
DRPCHK1
.... On powerup, check for RP240 on COM 1.
PORT2
........Select COM 2 as the affected port.
DRPCHKØ
.... On powerup, do not check for RP240
..................
on COM 2.
Optional Grounding Connection
If you are experiencing electrical noise
problems, connect GND to the RP240's
aluminum back plane. This should correct
noise problems that arise if the RP240 back
plane or NEMA enclosure is at earth ground
potential.
