RS-232 COMMUNICATIONS
This RS-232 interface is fitted as standard. It operates independently of the other communications
interfaces and may be accessed at the same time as them.
If the RS-232 interface “Mode” is set to “Print”, then an “Epson TM-U220D” or compatible printer may
be connected to the port and configured to print fault and reel report tickets.
RS-232 interface
The RS-232 interface may be accessed through the “RS232/485” connector.
Connector type: DB9 female (socket)

Ensure that the cable shield is connected to this via the plug
shield connection.

The above table also shows the configuration of a cable for connection to a personal computer (PC)
type DB9 serial port.
The maximum baud rate depends on the cable capacitance and length. For low-cost overall shielded
cable with total capacitance of shield to core-plus-core to core of 300pF per metre, the maximum
recommended baud rates are as follows:
Cable length range / m
Maximum Baud rate / s

RS-232 SINGLE LETTER PROTOCOL (SLP)
The DG-k series diameter gauges support the legacy Single Letter Protocol (SLP) for communications
over the RS-232 interface.
The SLP RS-232 data format is:
