Serial ports 1 and 2
The default configuration for serial ports 1 and 2 on the motherboard is RS-232. These ports cannot be reconfigured.
Serial ports 3 and 4
Both serial ports on the following boards are shipped in the RS-422 wiring configuration:
• HyPath and Picopath 4-axis MCC, utility, and serial isolation board (141222)
• Picopath 2-axis MCC, utility, and serial isolation board (141256)
• SERCOS II and SERCOS III utility and serial isolation board
(141194/141307)
To change either port to an RS-232 configuration, you must find the jumper
for the appropriate port and move the jumper from the RS-422 position to the
RS-232 position. These positions are clearly marked on the board.
Configure the port for RS-232 operation before connecting RS-232 compatible
devices.
