Red Lion LEGEND - Manual (Page 27)

PROGRAM COMMUNICATION PORT
When communicating to a Legend unit via the serial port, the data formats of
both units must be identical. The Baud Rate and Parity Bit are selected for the
data format in this module along with the Unit address and Serial transmit delay.
Serial communication is covered in detail in the RS485 SERIAL
COMMUNICATIONS SECTION. The following flowchart shows only the
Communication portion:
BAUD RATE
The Baud Rates available are: 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600 Baud.
PARITY
The Parity can be ODD, EVEN, or No parity.
UNIT ADDRESS
Allows multiple units on a single pair of wires and a common with each unit
capable of having a different address. If only one unit is on the line an address of
zero can be used, eliminating the need for an address command. The address
numbers range from 00 to 99.
SERIAL TRANSMIT DELAY
The Serial Transmit Delay is the amount of time the Legend unit will wait to
transmit data to a peripheral unit. The time will begin after the Legend receives a
command to transmit data or when a print request is received. The delay can be
set for 0.002 or 0.100 second.
