l9600 baud
lEVEN parity
l8-bit RTU mode
l1 stop bit
lModbus address
A Processor Adapter cannot support more than one stop bit. If you change this
default setting in the configuration software, the Processor Adapter will ignore the
change.
All other port parameters can be successfully modified in the configuration
software.
Auto-Logout
Feature If a programming panel is logged into the CPU via the RS232 serial port and its
cable gets disconnected, the CPU automatically logs out the port. This auto-logout
feature is designed to prevent a lock-up situation that could prevent other host
stations from logging in on other ports.
