Configuration of the serial interface

• In the default setting of the module, you can connect any RS232-compatible device to the serial interface.
• If you want to transmit alternative RS422 signals, you need to change the operating mode of the serial interface.
• The following figures show the pin assignments of the serial interface

Pin assignment with RS232 mode
The table shows how the different lines of the data connection are assigned to the according pins:

Target and user modules of the U2+R series.

Pin assignment with RS422 mode
The table shows how the different lines of the data connection are assigned to the according pins:

How to configure the serial interface

NOTE: Before establishing a connection using the terminal emulator, install the device driver CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP.
This driver provides the Service port of the module, which is connected via service cable, as the virtual serial interface (COM port). Now, the virtual interface can be selected in the terminal emulator to establish the connection.
The driver is provided as a download on the website www.gdsys.com/en under More from G&D > Tools & Drivers.

1. Use the supplied service cable to connect the computer on which a terminal emulator (e.g. Tera Term, HyperTerminal or PuTTY) is installed with the Service port of the target or user module.
2. Start the terminal emulator.
3. Establish a new connection in the terminal emulator and enter the following settings:
   • Bits per seconds:115.200
   • Data bits:8
   • Parity: none
   • Stop bits:1
   • Flow control: none
4. Enter the command rs422 and confirm with Enter to switch to RS422 mode. To switch back to RS232 mode, use the rs232 command and also confirm with Enter.
