The following parameters are available in the configuration view of the COM port node:
|
Parameter |
Value ranges |
Description |
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Run on config fault |
No |
If this parameter is set to “Yes” the IEC application will not be prevented from switching to RUN state, independent from possibly existing configuration errors of the particular COM port. |
|
|
Yes |
|||
|
Transmission rate |
9600 baud/sec |
Sets up the transmission rate to use for the COM port. |
|
|
19200 |
|||
|
38400 |
|||
|
57600 |
|||
|
115200 |
|||
|
Parity |
None |
Sets up the parity to use for the COM port. |
|
|
Odd |
|||
|
Even |
|||
|
Data bits |
5 data bits |
Sets up the number of data bits to use for the COM port |
|
|
6 data bits |
|||
|
7 data bits |
|||
|
8 data bits |
|||
|
Stop bits |
1 stop bits |
Sets up the number of stop bits to use for the COM port. |
|
|
2 stop bits |
|||
|
Flow control |
No flow control |
Allows to switch between different flow control modes (either RTS/CTS hardware or Xon/Xoff software or none). This setting is only valid for RS-232 serial interface mode. In case RS-485 is used for parameter “Serial interface”, flow control must set to “No flow control”. Otherwise a configuration error is triggered. |

Hardware RTS/CTS |

|
Software Xon/Xoff |
|||
|
Boot parameter Serial interface |
RS-232 |
Allows to switch between RS-232 and RS-485. Due to technical reasons, it’s not possible to dynamically switch between the modes. This means, a reboot (or power cycle) of the PLC is required to activate the particular setting once changed. |
