Connect your Bronkhorst meter/controller PROFIBUS DP slave instrument to a free COM-port using the cable
mentioned below.
A special RS232 cable (7.03.366) can be ordered separately. It consists of a T-part with 1 male and 1
female sub-D 9 connector on one instrument-side and a normal female sub-D 9 connector on the side of
the computer. By means of this cable it is possible to offer RS232 communication and still be able to
connect power-supply and analog interface through the (analog) sub-D 9 connector.
