CONx Section
Serial communications is provided through one or more of the computer's comm ports or the Ethernet port. SDIO is
capable of using up to 8 serial ports. These ports may be RS232 or RS485 ports. A serial Connection is a
communications link to one of the installed Comm Ports using a specific protocol. A port only supports one protocol.
You cannot have multiple protocols defined for one port. The characteristics of a connection are specified in the
CONx sections. There may be 8 (CON1 thru CON8) connections configured. The Ethernet connection is CON9 and
is not configurable. A sample CONx section follows:
{SCON2}
COMMUX BOARD = "NO"
PORT = "COM13"
PROTOCOL="AB-DF1"
BAUD = "9600"
DBITS = "8"
PARITY = "EVEN"
SBITS = "1"
NADDR = "7"
{ECON2}
Options:
COMMUX BOARD - "NO" if not using a COMMUX board "16" if using a COMMUX board.
PROTOCOL-The desired protocol for connection 1.
PORT-Computer's comm port "COM1", "COM2", etc. (ports 1-16 are supported). Use "none" to disable the
connection.
BAUD-Baud rate "1200", "2400", "4800", "9600", "19200", "38400" or "57600"
DBITS-The number of Data bits. (7 or 8)
PARITY-The type of parity. (ODD, EVEN, or NONE)
SBITS-The number of stop bits. (1 or 2)
NADDR-The Host computers Node Address (required only for AllenBradley DF1 Protocol).
