Serial Communication Ports
The Multi Unit has three serial RS232C communication ports. All of these
port settings and data are fully configurable with the AFC User Console
software. COM1 is an output port for ASCII fastening data communication to
external devices. The COM2 port is for inputting ASCII data to the fastening
system for marriage to the fastening data. It is typically used for attaching part
serial number(s) to the fastening data for data storage birth history. COM3 is
reserved for a remote data display. The data format for these ports are
configurable using the AFC User Console software package.
