1-5 Expanded System Configuration

1-5-1 Serial Communications

The FQM1 system can be expanded using the two serial ports built into the

Coordinator Module: Peripheral port and RS-232C port.

System Configuration

Host computer CX-Programmer

Peripheral	Automatic detection of
port	communications parameters

Host Link

RS-232C port

Coordinator Module

1-5-2 Systems

The serial communications port mode (protocol) can be switched in the Coor- dinator Module’s System Setup. Depending on the protocol selected, the fol- lowing systems can be configured.

Protocols	The following protocols support serial communications.
