RS232 Commands
Programming and information polling is also possible by RS232 communication through the RS232
connector on the back of the unit. Connection is made via an IN9317 connector wired to either a 9-pin D
or 25-pin D connector. The input labeled GND (pin2) goes to either pin 7 of a 25 pin connector or pin 5
of a 9 pin. The input labeled TX (pin1) goes to either pin 3 of a 25 pin connector or pin 2 of a 9 pin
connector. The input labeled RX (pin3) goes to either pin 2 of a 25 pin connector or pin 3 of a 9 pin
connector. Default communication settings are 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 1200 baud. All commands
sent to the unit must be enclosed in brackets. When linking units together, up to four units can be
programmed with different brackets for an ID when communicating with all units. Possible brackets are [
and ], { and}, ( and ), < and >. The default brackets are [ and ]. So a command sent to the unit would look
like: [BLANK0]. Letters are not case sensitive and can be written as BLANK or blank. Possible
commands are:
