Mounting and wiring
4.10 RS422/RS485 connections (CX51x0-N031)
The CX51x0-N031 system interface provides an RS422 or RS 485 interface, COM1 (X300). It is
implemented on a 9-pole Sub-D socket strip. If more than one interface is required, the system can be
extended with the required number of serial interfaces using the terminal bus (K- or E-bus) and Bus
Terminals (KL/EL6001). The pin assignment is shown at the bottom of the page.
The maximum baud rate on both channels is 115 kbit. The interface parameters are set via the operating
system or from the PLC program.
COM interface (socket)
Pin assignment of the COM interface
PIN Signal Type Description
2 TxD+ Data-Out + Transmit 422
3 RxD+ Data-In + Receive 422
5 GND Ground Ground
6 VCC VCC +5V
7 TxD- Data-Out - Transmit 422
8 RxD- Data-In - Receive 422
For RS485 pins 2 and 3 (data +) must be connected, and pins 7 and 8 (data –).
Setting the interface parameters
The interface is parameterized as follows in the delivery condition:
RS485 without echo, end point (terminated) standard setting
Function Status
Echo on off
Echo off on
Auto send on on
Always send on off
