TXM24 RS232/485 Hardware Manual
3.2 Connecting the TXM24 Communications
The TXM24 is available with two types of serial communications, RS-232 (TXM24S/Q -3AG) or
RS-485 (TXM24S/Q -3RG). Each type requires a different hardware connection for interface to
a PC or other Host system. The RS-232 version requires the user to provide the M12 mating
cable to RS-232 port on PC. The RS-485 version requires the user to provide the M12 mating
cable and the RS-485 interface. Below are descriptions of how to interface both of these serial
communication types to a PC.
3.2.1 Connecting to the PC using RS-232

Note: If the PC does not have an RS-232 serial port, a USB Serial Converter will be needed.
You can contact Applied Motion Products to buy a USB to RS-232 converter.
The RS-232 circuitry does not have any extra electrical “hardening” and care should be taken
when connecting to the RS-232 port as hot plugging could result in circuit failure. If this is a
concern the RS-485 version should be used.
