Connecting a 3rd Party Controller - COMM Port Wiring Issues
Customers sometimes encounter issues with the wiring of controllers other than
those offered by Boeckeler Instruments. The following information may be helpful
in solving them.
• Pointmaker COMM ports sometimes use pin 9 to supply power to the
DTX-DRV RS-232 line drivers. The DTX-DRV drivers support cable
extensions for digitizing tablets or touch screens. Pin 9 was selected
because it’s specification is seldom used. If you are connecting a device
other than a DTX-DRV driver to a COMM port, the voltage may cause
unexpected issues with the device.
• COMM 1 and COMM 2 have jumpers for power on pin 9, and are set to
OFF when shipped from the factory. If you require power for a DTX-DRV
driver for either or both of these COMM ports, please contact technical
support.
• Some touch screens may need hardware handshaking. In that case, try a
cable with pins 7 and 8 tied together.
