Communication Ports

The TS-550 evo console has several communication ports that can be used to communicate with various devices. The 

communication ports can be used for a wide variety of applications: to connect the console to a computer network, to print 

reports on an external printer or to fax reports via the optional internal fax/modem. Please refer to the table below for a 

more complete listing of the ports and their associated devices.

Note: The onboard TS-DIMIB (Dispenser Interface Module) and the TS-LON (IFSF protocol Interface Module) are optional 

daughterboards that attach to the Power Supply Module. Only one daughterboard can be used in a system.

Note:  Either the Current Loop or RS-422/232 connector will be used to connect to a dispenser distribution box (Dbox) 

depending on the manufacturer’s settings.

RS-232 Communication Connectors

Two connectors for RS-232 interfaces are provided on the bottom of the TS-550 evo console. The pin designations for the 

RS-232 connectors are as follows:
