Serial interface COM1ΒΆ

The serial non-isolated COM1 interfaces provides communication via RS-485 and is carried out as a 9-pin Sub-D jack. The COM1 interface can be used

  • for online connection with the PS501 Control Builder Software (via a RS-485 programming cable. e. g. TK503 TK503 - Programming Cable)
  • as Modbus RTU (master and slave)
  • for ASCII serial protocols
  • as CS31 system bus (master only).

Note

COM1 does not support communication via RS-232. The programming cable TK501 cannot be used.

Caution

:strong:Risk of damaging the PLC modules!

The CPU can be damaged by overvoltages and short circuits.

The internal power supply voltage which is connected to pin 6 of the D-SUB connector must not be short-circuited or connected to any other voltages.

Note

The Serial RS485 Interface is not electrically isolated.
