CONTREX ContrexHost 3 - Manual (Page 8)

Connection examples continued
Refer to the manual for the specific motion control for more detailed wiring information.
Serial Communications setup
Make sure all Contrex motion controls, that are connected to the same serial port, have the
same settings for baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits.
All CX-Series controls must have the “CRC Enable” parameter set to “ON”.
All M/MB/ML/MLP-Series controls communicate using an ASCII protocol. If CX-Series controls
are connected to the same port as any of these control types, the “CX” must be set to use the
ASCII “Record Format”. Do not connect CX-Series controls using Binary “Record Format” to the
same serial port as other controls that use an ASCII protocol.
