Configuring the Connection
for the Terminal Mode

If you wish to set up point-to-point communication with another station, this
can be done using either the serial interface or the Pico-Link. The GFX must
be provided with a display and keypad. The connection must be configured for
this purpose (see also: Introduction to the Serial Interface on page 6-16).

Proceed as follows:

1.

Connect both stations together.

Only use original connection cables. The connector marked POW-Side
must be plugged into a GFX. The GFX feeds the interface electronics
of the connection line at both ends.

2.

Connect both stations to the power supply.

Figure 3.11 Serial connection example with two stations

The GFX is the active station and the second station is the remote
station.

3.

Switch on the power supply at both stations.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the other station supports the Serial
Interface mode.
