RS-232C Communication to a Personal Computer —Bulletin 900-TC8 Only
By using the appropriate option communications unit in the Bulletin 900-TC8
or 900-TC16 Controller, you can communicate with a personal computer.
Figure 2.27 — Communication Unit Connection Diagram
➊
RS232C for 900-TC8 only.
The RS-232C connection is one-to-one (PC to one Bulletin 900-TC8). The
maximum cable length for RS-232 is 15 m. An optional 3 m RS-232C interface
cable (Cat. No. 900-CP1x) is available as an extension cable if necessary. If you
make your own cable, use shielded, twisted pair cable (AWG 28 or larger).
Note:
To configure the 900-TC8 using RS232 communication optional
software (900BuilderLite) is available.
RS-485 Communication to a Personal Computer
When the optional RS-485 communications unit is mounted in the Bulletin
900-TC8, 900-TC16, or 900-TS32, RS-485 communication with a personal
computer is possible. Connect the RS-485 communications cable across
controller terminals 11 and 12 for 900-TC8 or 900-TC16. Connect the RS-485
communications cable across controller terminals 7 and 8 for 900-TC32.
•
Specify both ends of the transmission path, including the personal
computer as the end node (that is, connect termination resistors to both
ends).
The minimum terminal resistance is 54
Ω
. (See Figure 2.28.)
