Section 8
Communication Interface
8-4
The figures below show the wiring connections for the RS-232 interface
without hardware handshake. The arrows in the following figures indicate
the signal flow direction. Figure 8.3 shows the wiring connections when
the CNC is a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device and the
peripheral is a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device.
Without hardware handshake, if the peripheral needs RR , connect the TR
(Terminal Ready) pin to the RR (Received Line Signal Detector - carrier
dated) pin on the peripheral. Figure 8.3 and Figure 8.4.
