Table 2.9: Serial Communication Port Configuration
Note: For applications where D-Sub connectors are preferred rather than the default RJ45 connector,
a front panel is available whereby all serial ports can be connected via mini D-Sub connectors.
2.8.1 Ethernet/SER4 Port
If a network interface such as Ethernet or a fieldbus is required, the most upper port on the front panel
can be used. This port based on SCC1 of the 68360 is physically configured by a so-called SI Piggyback.
SI Piggybacks are available at the moment for the 3 standard Ethernet versions 10Base5 (AUI), 10Base2
and 10BaseT. Additionally, an isolated RS485 interface is available with 9-pin D-Sub frontpanel con-
nector which is especially designed for Fieldbus applications available as well as a standard RS232 in-
terface. for more information, please refer to the SI Piggyback Appendix in this manual.
