Serial Port Usage
The three ports can be used to connect a Remote Control
Terminal, to monitor diagnostic data or to monitor angle data.
The specific uses for each port are:-
Remote Port A Remote Control and Monitoring Terminal may be
connected to this port.
Diagnostic data can be monitored by selecting “Diagnostics
On” in the “Function - Configuration” menu. Remote control
of the INTRAC is achieved only if “Diagnostics Off” is selected
in the Configuration menu.
Test Port 1 Diagnostic data is also available at this port together with
Angles data. The selection between Diagnostics and Angles
is made by Menu Key 4 on the “Function - Configuration”
menu. The key switches between “Test Port-1 Diags” and
“Test Port-1 Angles”
Test Port 2 This port is for a Remote Control Terminal only.
The Remote Port allows one PC to be used as a remote
control unit and as a diagnostics monitoring unit. However it
cannot do both at the same time.
Note For correct remote control of the INTRAC-305 via the
Remote Port Diagnostics must be set to OFF. Diagnostic
data can be monitored during remote operation by using a
second PC connected to Test Port 1.
