Specifications of Serial Interface COM1/COM

Introduction

 

This interface is used to connect:

oXBT GT1005 series to remote equipment, via an RS-232C or RS-485 cable. The connector used is a RJ45-type connector.

oXBT GT2000/4000/5000/6000/7000 series to remote equipment, via an RS-232C or RS-422-485 cable. The connector used is a 9-pin SUB-D connector.

oXBT GK series to remote equipment, via an RS-232C or RS-422-485 cable. The connector used is a 9-pin SUB-D connector.

oXBT GH series to remote equipment, via an RS-232C or RS-422-485 cable. The connector used is a 9-pin SUB-D connector.

When using a long PLC cable to connect to the unit, it is possible the cable can be at a different electrical potential than the unit, even if both are connected to ground.

The unit’s serial port is not isolated. The SG (signal ground) and the FG (frame ground) terminals are connected inside the unit.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

oMake a direct connection between the frame ground (FG) terminal and ground.

oDo not connect other devices to ground through the frame ground (FG) terminal of this device.

oInstall all cables according to local codes and requirements. If local codes do not require grounding, follow a reliable guide such as the US National Electrical Code, Article 800.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

XBT GT1005 Series Serial Interface COM1

This interface is used to connect a RS-232C/RS-485 serial cable. An RJ45 8-pin plug connector is used.

Any excessive weight or stress on communication cables may cause an equipment’s disconnection and unintended equipment operation.

Caution_Color.gifCAUTION

LOSS OF POWER

oAll connections to the communication ports on the bottom and sides of the unit must not put excessive stress on the ports.

oSecurely attach communication cables to the panel or cabinet.

oUse only RJ45 cables with a locking tab in good condition.

oUse RJ45 connectors with locking system.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
