RS422/RS485 (N031)
The optional N031 interface provides an RS422 or RS485 interface (X300). The interface is executed on a 9-pin D-sub socket.
The maximum baud rate on both channels is 115 kbit. The interface parameters are set via the operating system or from the PLC program.
PIN  | Signal  | Type  | Description  | 
|---|---|---|---|
2  | TxD+  | Data-Out +  | Transmit 422  | 
3  | RxD+  | Data-In +  | Receive 422  | 
5  | GND  | Ground  | Ground  | 
6  | VCC  | VCC  | +5 V  | 
7  | TxD-  | Data-Out -  | Transmit 422  | 
8  | RxD-  | Data-In -  | Receive 422  | 
For RS 485 pins 2 and 3 (data +) must be connected, and pins 7 and 8 (data -).
By default the interface is parameterized as follows on delivery:
Function  | Status  | 
|---|---|
Echo on  | off  | 
Echo off  | on  | 
Auto send on  | on  | 
Always send on  | off  | 
Auto receive on  | on  | 
Always receive on  | off  | 
Term on  | on  | 
Term on  | On  | 
Other configurations for the RS485 interface
Other configurations for the RS485 interface can be ordered ex factory. The following options are available:
- N031-0001 RS485 with echo, end point (terminated).
 - N031-0002 RS485 without echo, stub (without termination).
 - N031-0003 RS485 with echo, stub (without termination).
 - N031-0004 RS422 full duplex end point (terminated).
 
An RS485 interface cannot be configured retrospectively and must always be ordered ex factory as required.
