50 seriAl/Plc

The Serial/PLC Menu is used to set up serial communications through the microprocessor COM port between
the UltraWave Series and external equipment, such as:

• PLC with a BASIC Module or a similar communication device

The controller can only be the slave to external equipment. The controller has one COM port for serial communications.
Refer to

Appendix E

for information on how to serially connect the controller to various external equipment.

51 shoW Address

This parameter shows the current serial address of the displayed channel.

52 bAud rAte

The UltraWave Series controller’s built-in serial communications settings are 8 data bits, 1 stop, no parity.
These values are fi xed, and cannot be modifi ed by the user. The baud rate can be modifi ed by the user. When
connecting the controller to external equipment, all of the serial communications settings must match for the
equipment to communicate. As necessary, modify the default setting for baud rate of the UltraWave Series
controller. Modify the data bits, stop, and parity settings in the external equipment to match the controller’s built-
in settings. There are fi ve baud rates (bits per second) available: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19.2K
