Section Title
Connections
Column Title
Function Legal Values
Port Specify which port the device is connected to the FieldServer P1-P8, R1-R2
1
Protocol Specify protocol used ASCII
Baud* Specify baud rate
110 – 115200,
standard baud
rates only, 9600
Parity* Specify parity
Even, Odd,
None, Mark,
Space
Data_Bits* Specify data bits 7, 8
Stop_Bits* Specify stop bits 1
Start_Char*
Specify the decimal value of the character with which message will start.
The driver will wait for the specified character to detect a valid start of
an incoming message. Refer to Appendix A.1.1
0-255, -
EndPart_String*
Specify the last part of string with which the incoming message will end.

when it receives the Termination_Char message or the IC_Timeout
period has elapsed. If data is received after the IC_Timeout period has
elapsed, but before the next Start_Char message, the driver will report
an IC_Timeout error, and all characters will be ignored until the next
