RS-232C Cable and Modem
Although the connection between the ALR1
11 module and an external device is recommen-
ded to go through the modems, if the distance between the two is less than 15 meters and
both the ALR111 module and the external device are sharing the same grounding levels, they
can be directly connected using a cable without modems.

Modbus Connection
The following types of Modbus connection are available:
• Connection with modem
• Connecting to an external device using an RS-232C D-sub 25-pin connector (direct con-
nection)
