Up to 32 T1-16Ss can be connected to a master computer. By using this mode,
MMI/SCADA system can be easily configured.
Data link mode: Two PLCs (any combination of T1S, T2E or T2N) can be
directly linked together. This direct link is inexpensive, easily configured and
requires no special programming.
Free ASCII mode: User defined ASCII messages can be transmitted and
received through this port. A terminal, printer, bar-code reader, or other serial
ASCII device can be directly connected.
