SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
The MLP-Drive can interface with a host computer through a RS485 Serial
Communications Interface. This interface allows the host computer to perform remote
Control Parameter entry, status or performance monitoring, and remote control of the
MLP-Drive. Refer to
Using Serial Communications , in this section.
If you are using the Contrex-Host software, your communications network is user ready
and does not require any software programming. Contrex–Host software is available
through your distributor. If you are designing your own software, refer to
Communications Software Design, in this section. Once the software is installed, you
are ready to establish a link through the Serial Communications Interface.
