3rd Party RS-232 Control Integration
In the ATON configuration software configure Com 1 of the AH66T (chassis # 1 only) for 3rd party serial control.
Connect a Cat5 (TIA/EIA568A or B) from Com 1 of the AH66T to the DB9F-RJ45 NULL Modem adapter. Connect a serial cable from the adaptor to the RS-232 port of the 3rd party control device
The MAXIMUM total wire run length from the AH66T’s Comm Port to the RS-232 port of the 3rd party controller is 50’ (15m).
Figure 4-6: RS-232 Connection
You must download RS-232 configuration settings to the AH66t to enable it to work with the 3rd party controller being used. This programming is done in the ATON configuration software. Connect a USB to USB-Mini from the computer to the AH66T to download these settings.
See Appendix A for the Serial Protocol and command set.
