Configuring the TSX PCX 1031 and TSX PCX 1130 Cables
The two cables TSX PCX 1031 and TSX PCX 1130 convert RS 485 and RS 232 signals. They allow the terminal port to be connected to RS 232 devices that do not handle RTS.
Both are equipped with a switch that enables the PLC to be set to either Master of Slave mode. The switch is accessible internally by removing the metal cover containing the electronics.
The management of the switch is as follows:
Control Expert Master Uni-Telway Configuration
Control Expert Slave Uni-Telway Configuration
Control Expert Character Mode Configuration
Switch position M
Uni-Telway Master with Control Expert configuration
Uni-Telway Master with default configuration
Uni-Telway Master with default configuration
Switch position S
