Chapter 6: Physical Hook-up and Troubleshooting
This chapter will cover 3PXCC pinout, communication cable
data, and troubleshooting information.
Pinouts
RS-232 Pinouts
The 3PXCC Serial Cards are wired as DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) devices. The 3PXCC Serial Cards can be connected
directly to DCE (Data Communication Equipment) devices with a
straight through cable. If you need to connect two DTE devices, you
will need a null modem cable or cross-over cable.

RS-422 Pinouts
RS-422 mode supports transmit and receive data signals.
The pinouts of the DB-9 connector are given in Table 6. Figure 5
shows how to connect a typical RS-422/RS-485 full duplex
communication link.

RS-485 Pinouts
RS-485 mode supports both full and half duplex
communications (transmit and receive data signals). The pinouts of
the DB-9 connector are given in Table 6 (if full duplex
communication is used). Figure 5 shows how to connect a typical
RS-422/RS-485 full duplex communication link. Figure 6 shows how
to connect a typical RS-485 half duplex communication link.
