Operating Instructions Model 360E Instruction Manual

6.11. SETUP  MORE COMM: Using the Analyser’s Communication Ports

The M360E is equipped with two serial communication ports located on the rear panel (Figure 3-2). Both ports

operate similarly and give the user the ability to communicate with, issue commands to, and receive data from

the analyzer through an external computer system or terminal. By default, both ports operate on the RS-232

protocol.

 The COM1 port can also be configured to operate in single or RS-232 multidrop mode (option 62; See

Section 5.5.2 and 6.11.7).

 The COM2 port can be configured for standard RS-232 operation, half-duplex RS-485 communication or

for access via an LAN by installing the Teledyne Instruments Ethernet interface card (option 63; See

Section 5.5.3 and 6.11.6).

A code-activated switch (CAS), can also be used on either port to connect typically between 2 and 16

send/receive instruments (host computer(s) printers, data loggers, analyzers, monitors, calibrators, etc.) into one

communications hub. Contact Teledyne Instruments sales for more information on CAS systems.

Each type of Teledyne Instruments analyzer is configured with a default ID code. The default ID code for all

M360M analyzers is 360. The ID number is only important if more than one analyzer is connected to the same

communications channel such as when several analyzers are on the same Ethernet LAN (See Section 6.11.6);

in a RS-232 multidrop chain (See Section 6.11.7) or operating over a RS-485 network (See Section 6.11.3). If

two analyzers of the same model type are used on one channel, the ID codes of one or both of the instruments

needs to be changed so

The ID number is only important if more than one analyzer is connected to the same communications channel

(e.g., a multi-drop setup). Different models of Teledyne Instruments analyzers have different default ID

numbers, but if two analyzers of the same model type are used on one channel (for example, two M360E’s), the

ID of one instrument needs to be changed.

The ID can also be used for to identify any one of several analyzers attached to the same network but situated in

different physical locations.
