Allen-Bradley SLC 500 BASIC Installation Instructions

14 SLC 500 BASIC and BASIC-T Modules
Publication 1746-IN009B-EN-P - August 2005
Hardware Handshaking
The module uses the following rules when hardware handshaking is enabled. The
module:
• does not transmit until CTS (Clear to Send) becomes active, and
• examines DSR (Data Set Ready) following the receipt of a character.
If DSR is active, the character is placed in the input queue. If DSR is inactive, the
character is assumed to be noise and is discarded.
DTE and DCE Overview
DTE - Data Terminal Equipment
The serial ports are configured as 9-pin Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), as are
most terminals or computer ports.
IMPORTANT
You need to know whether the device connecting to the module
has a DTE or DCE interface. Figures 8 through 12, starting on
page 16, are provided to help you make the appropriate
connection.
