3. Communication Cable Connection of EnerPulse Power Supply Equipment
You can connect EnerPulse Power Supply Equipment and communication cable in the following ways.
Communication Cable Connection
To connect EnerPulse Power Supply Equipment and communication cable, you must use RS-232C or RS-485 serial socket shown in the back of equipment.
If you use RS-232, connect 2(RX), 3(TX), 5(GND) pin. If you use RS-485, connect 1(Tx+, Rx+), 3(Tx-, Rx-) pin.
