Figure 3.1 Connecting the Controller to a PC

To connect the controller to the computer via RS232, the communication terminals should be wired to the computer serial port as follows: the RS232 TX terminal of the controller is linked to the RS232 RX of the serial port and the RS232 RX terminal is linked to the TX.

If the controller is installed in the EverAccess enclosure, the DB9 serial port interface makes the connection even easier. Fig. 3.2 describes how to connect the DB9 port to the computer serial port. If a self-made cable and interface is used for connection, then a DB9 female connector is required. The terminal 12, 13 and 14 on the main module should be linked to the pin 5, 3 and 2 respectively, which are GND, TXD and RX.D
