Connecting a T30 Industrial Terminal to a BASIC Module
Important: Jumper T30 Industrial Terminal pin 4,5 and 6; and BASIC
Module pins 4 and 5 if you do not use them.
You can use your T50 Industrial Terminal as a BASIC Module
programming device. You must use a terminal driver package to configure
the industrial terminal serial port and communications protocol to match
the BASIC Module.
These packages include the ability to upload to and download from the
hard or floppy disk drives in the industrial terminal.
To upload and download you must:
1. configure the software.
2. construct a cable with the pin connections shown in figure 4.5 under,
“Wiring”.
3. use the upload and download commands of the driver package.
