8 CONNECT COM 2 PORT
You will need to use the COM 2 port if your system includes an ASCII control device, such
as a personal computer or a keyboard that is connected via dial-up lines or fiber optic net-
work. The port interface at COM 2 can be either RS-232 or RS-422/485. The DIP switches
should have been set (refer to Figure 6).
a. If you require an RS-232 port interface, connect wires from the RS-232 device to the
COM 2 terminals at the back of the SCU. Refer to Figure 17.
b. If you require an RS-422/485 port interface, connect wires from the RS-422 device to
the COM 2 terminals at the back of the SCU. Refer to Figure 18.
