RS-232/422/485 Send_Commands (Port 2)

The serial port is located at Port 2 in NetLinx D:P:S nomenclature. The serial port supports the following commands and escape sequences. In these examples: <DEV> = device.

RS-232/422/485 Send_Commands

Command	Description
B9MOFF	Disables 9-bit in 232/422/455 mode. By default, this returns the communication
Set the port's communication	settings on the serial/data port to the last programmed parameters. This
parameters for stop and data	command works in conjunction with the 'B9MON' command.
	Syntax:
bits according to the software
settings on the RS-232 port	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'B9MOFF'"
(default).
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'B9MOFF'"
	Sets the RS-232 port settings to match the port's configuration settings.
B9MON	Enables 9-bit in 232/422/455 mode. This command works in conjunction with
Override and set the current	the 'B9MOFF' command.
	Syntax:
communication settings and
parameters on the RS-232	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'B9MON'"
port to 9 data bits with one
	Example:
stop bit.
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'B9MON'"
	Resets the RS-232 port's communication parameters to nine data bits, one
	stop bit, and locks-in the baud rate.
CHARD	Syntax:
Set the delay time between	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARD-<time>'"
all transmitted characters to	Variable:

	time = 0 - 255. Measured in 100 microsecond increments.
Microsecond increments).
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CHARD-10'"
	Sets a 1-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
CHARDM	Syntax:
Set the delay time between	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CHARDM-<time>'"
all transmitted characters to	Variable:
the value specified
	time = 0 - 255. Measured in 1 millisecond increments.
(in 1 Millisecond increments).
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CHARDM-10'"
	Sets a 10-millisecond delay between all transmitted characters.
CTSPSH	This command turns On (enables) channel tracking of the handshaking pins. If
Enable Pushes, Releases,	Clear To Send (CTS) is set high, then channel 255 is On.
	Syntax:

using the CTS hardware
	Example:
handshake input.
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CTSPSH'"
	Sets the RS232_1 port to detect changes on the CTS input.
CTSPSH OFF	This command disables tracking. Turns CTSPSH Off.
Disable Pushes, Releases,	Syntax:
and Status information to be	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'CTSPSH OFF'"
reported via channel 255.
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND RS232_1,"'CTSPSH OFF'"
	Turns off CTSPSH for the specified device.
