Communications Baud Rate

Set the communications baud rate.

Selectable values: 9600, 2400 or 19200.

NOTE!

Set the baud rate to the same speed in both

the controller and the HMI software or panel.

Communications Protocol

Set the communications protocol. Choose the correct proto-
col for the software or device with which the controller will
communicate. You must switch power to the controller off,
then back on, to make a change to this parameter take ef-
fect.

Selectable values: MOD (Modbus RTU), ANA (Anafaze), AB
(Allen Bradley).

Communications Error Checking

If you selected the ANA or AB communications protocol, set
the data check algorithm for CLS200 communications.

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a more secure error
checking algorithm than BCC, but it requires more calcu-
lation time and slows communications. BCC (Block Check
Character) ensures a high degree of communications integ-
rity. We recommend BCC unless your application requires
CRC.

Selectable values: BCC or CRC.

NOTE!

If you are using Anasoft, configure it with

ANAINSTL for the same error checking meth-

od and baud rate set in the controller.
