Directly Connect to the Controller via the
Serial Port
Use This Chapter
This chapter describes how to connect to the controller via the serial
port so you can configure the controller and upload and/or download
a project to the controller.
For the FlexLogix controller to operate on a serial network, you need:
• a workstation with a serial port
• RSLinx software to configure the serial communication driver
• RSLogix5000 programming software to configure the serial port
of the controller
Connect the Controller via
the Serial Port
The RS-232 port is a non-isolated serial port built-in to the front of the
FlexLogix controller.
1. Determine whether you need an isolator.
If you connect the controller to a modem or an ASCII device,
consider installing an isolator between the controller and
modem or ASCII device. An isolator is also recommended when
connecting the controller directly to a programming workstation.
