RS-232C control
Connect a male (D-Sub 9 Pin) to female (D-Sub 9 Pin)
straight cable for RS-232C external control by host equip-
ment.
• The RS-232C host can control functions of the
PMD570 externally
• The PMD570 automatically transmits status data when
status is changed.
• The PMD570 will respond to status requests by
transmitting the associated status data.

CTS/RTS hardware flow control
1. The host requests data by setting RTS to L.
2. Upon data request by CTS, the PMD570 responds
by setting RTS to H if not busy.
3. The host checks if CTS is H and stats data output
on TxD.
4. When data output finishes, the host sets RTS to H.
5. The PMD570 checks if CTS is H and sets RTS to L.

Notes:
The receiving side ignores data received prior to "@".
If code data is received without receiving "@", the
data receive error code will be returned.
The tolerance for send/receive clock error is ±10%.
For sending a command, wait more than 20ms after
reception of a response (OK, ERR or Status).
Reception of 0Dh or timeout is used to determine the
end of a command. Timeout occurs 1 second after the
reception of the last byte.
