RS-232 Configuration DIP Switches
RS‑232 communication is configured using the first eight switches in the DIP
switch block. Switches 1‑4 set the baud rate and switches 5‑9 are used to set
data, parity, and stop bit options. Switches 9 and 10 are reserved for system
use.
Switch Function Off On
1 Baud Rate bit 3
See Baud Rate chart
2 Baud Rate bit 2
3 Baud Rate bit 1
4 Baud Rate bit 0
5 Data Bits 7 8
6 Parity Low/High No parity Parity
7 Parity Even/Odd Even Odd
8 Stop Bit 1 2
9 Reserved
10 Control Master
To set a DIP switch to the On position, push it upwards.
RS-232 Baud Rates
To set a baud rate, determine the appropriate baud rate for data transfer
by referring to the external send/receive devices’ documentation. Set both
devices to communicate using the same baud rate. Finally, set the Pro64
devices to the same baud rate and activate the VDCs using the front‑panel
interface.
Here, the 6416i is set for a 57,600 baud RS-232 transfer with 8 data bits, no
parity, and stop bit set to 2. (Black indicates the DIP switch handle.)
