The terminal port, when configured in character mode, can be used to connect a device such as a printer, display screen or a specialized console (table controller for example).
Example of connection:
NOTE: To allow all types of connection, the TSX PCX 1130 cable is delivered with a TSX CTC 09 adapter/converter (9-pin male to 25-pin male).
The TSX PCX 1031 cable allows RS 485/RS 232 conversion and provides ‘peripheral slave’ information for the printer. It does not work on the AUX port and the connected device must handle the RTS signal.
To use the TSX PCX 1031 cord, one of the following TER port configurations must be used:
-
7 data bits + 1 or 2 stop bits + 1 parity bit
-
7 data bits + 2 stop bits
-
8 data bits + 1 stop bit + 0 or 1 parity bit
-
8 data bits + 2 stop bits
The TSX PCX 1031 and TSX PCX 1130 cables should only be connected to the PLC's TER port in order to supply power to the RS 485/RS 232 conversion device.
To avoid signal conflicts, no devices should be connected to the PLC's AUX port.
