ASIMON V3 - Configuration software for AS-Interface safety monitor
Programming and Operating Manual, Edition 09/2008, GWA 4NEB 333 1558 02 DS 02 35
3.3.2 Selecting the serial interface
When starting the program, ASIMON asks if and at which PC serial interface (COM-port) an
AS-Interface safety monitor is connected. If the connection between the PC and safety monitor
is established only after the ASIMON software has been started, you must manually select the
correct COM port in the program. Otherwise, no connection can be established to the AS-Inter-
face safety monitor.
The transmission parameters for serial communication with the AS-Interface safety monitor
are automatically set by ASIMON.

Notice
When using a USB-RS 232 interface converter or a serial interface card, the intermediate
buffering of data may cause communication problems with the safety monitor.
