PORTS
• RS232/RS485 Serial Port
The serial port's protocol (RS232 or RS485), data rate and format settings (baud, parity,
stop bits, etc.) are configured using Designer.
In RS232 mode, the port operates in full duplex with the following pinout:
Receive
Transmit
Signal ground
In RS485 (and DMX In) mode, the port operates in half duplex with the following pinout:
Data +
Data -
Signal ground
The serial port is not isolated from the MSC’s power supply. If isolation is required, it must
either be provided by the connected device or a separate isolator should be used.
• MIDI Input and Output
The MIDI input and output connectors are standard 5 pin DIN connections. They may be
connected directly to any standard MIDI device.
• DMX Outputs
Two DMX outputs are provided. An MSC 1 will output on both the same DMX universe
data, an MSC 2 will output a separate universe on each. The pins on these connectors are
marked:
Data + (‘Hot’ or ‘True’)
Data - (‘Cold’ or ‘Complement’)
Chassis ground (shield)
To make up a cable to a 5 pin XLR the following connections should be made:
