This section contains information about configuring the Program port, cable configurations,

connector pinouts, and NXC-ME260 installation procedures.

Setting the Program Port DIP Switch

Prior to installing the NXC-ME260, configure the Program port’s communication speed by setting the baud rate DIP switch (SW1) to the appropriate setting. The Program port’s DIP switch is located to one side of the Master’s RS232 Program port.

Baud rate settings

The Program port DIP switch is located on the Master card’s circuit board. Use this DIP switch to set the baud rate used by the Program port for communication. Before programming the Master, make sure the baud rate you set matches the communication set on either your PC’s COM port or through your NetLinx Studio 2.1. By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps).
