AVC

• RS232/RS485 Serial Port

The serial port's protocol (RS232 or RS485), data rate and format settings (baud, parity,
stop bits, etc.) are configured using Designer.

In RS232 mode, the port operates in full duplex with the following pinout:

Receive

Transmit

Signal ground

In RS485 (and DMX In) mode, the port operates in half duplex with the following pinout:

Data +

Data -

Signal ground

The serial port is not isolated from the AVC’s power supply. If isolation is required, it must
either be provided by the connected device or a separate RS232 isolator should be used.

• Ethernet

A standard 10/100TX Ethernet connection may be made to the AVC.

• USB

The USB port may be used to connect the AVC to a PC to upload project data (excluding
audio/video content) and update the AVC’s internal operating software.

NOTE:

Ports and third party equipment can be damaged when plugging or

unplugging an energised system (hot-plugging). It is therefore advisable to
remove power before making or breaking port connections.
