Serial Port Connections PORT 5 RS PORT RS45 Providing Power to an External Device from Port If either port is set up for communications with a serial device that requires 00mA or less at 5VDC, the device can obtain power from Port. Cable Lengths and Baud Rates Maximum cable lengths (the total number of feet from the CPU to the last device attached to the cable) are: Port (RS-) = 5 meters (50 ft.) Port (RS-45) = 00 meters (4000 ft.) Both ports support configurable baud rates, as listed in the CPU descriptions in this manual.

Port : RS- Pin Assignments for Port Port is an RS- port with a 9-pin female D-sub connector. It is used as the boot loader port for upgrading the CPU firmware. The pinout of Port allows a simple straight-through cable to connect with a standard AT-style RS- port. Cable shielding attaches to the shell.

RS-45 Multidrop Serial Connections In the multidrop configuration, the host device is configured as the master and one or more PLCs are configured as slaves. The maximum distance between the master and any slave may not exceed 4000 feet (00 meters). This figure assumes good quality cables and a moderately noisy environment. A maximum of slaves can be connected using RS-45 in a daisy chain or multidrop configuration. The RS-45 line must include handshaking and use wire type as specified earlier. Master Slave Station Last Station When wiring RS-45 multidrop cables, reflections on the transmission line can be reduced by daisy-chaining the cable as shown below. Make connections inside the connector to be attached to the PLC. Avoid using terminal strips to other types of connectors along the length of the transmission line.

This termination is made at the CPU by connecting a jumper between pin 9 and pin 0 inside the D-shell connector. Ground Potential: Multiple units not connected to the same power source must have common ground potential or ground isolation for proper operation of the system. GFK-50C Chapter 4 Installation 4-7
