Ports
The control comes standard with two RS-232C serial ports, which may be converted to an RS-422
configuration. For more information on the how to change the serial ports to the RS-422
configuration, please refer to Serial Port Connections. This port has been specially design with opto-
isolation and filtering to minimize EMI/RFI noise problems common in many cutting operations.
Parameters are enabled and disabled depending on Port feature selections.
The control may be configured to use the communication link provided on the control or the user may
enter information to create a custom communication link at the Link Screen to communicate with a
host computer. Information on how to access the Phoenix Communication Link Software is provided
later in this section.
Up to eight ports may be configured for use in software. Hardware provided with your control may
support a smaller number of communication ports.
The following parameters are available to help configure the Serial Ports for your specific
communications package and selected communication features.
