BRONKHORST
2.2 RS232
ON MULTIBUS INSTRUMENT
The RS232 interface on a multibus instrument can be connected to any RS232 V24 serial (computer) port. Make sure
to respect the hook‐up diagram. Bronkhorst offers special cables for communication, separating the RS232 lines from
the power and analog in‐ and output. On the 9‐pin male D‐sub connector of the instrument RX and TX are available on
pin 6 and pin 1.
RS232 communication is possible by:
• 9‐pin Sub D‐connector (non‐IP65 instruments, e.g. EL‐FLOW)
• 8‐pin DIN connector (IP65 instruments, e.g. CORI‐FLOW)
For the exact connections please advise your hook‐up diagram.

the possibility to change the RS232 baud rate, the baud rate may be configured differently.
