IPC COM Port

When connecting IPC with an External device, the COM port used depends on the series and SIO type. Please refer to the IPC manual for details.

Usable port

Series	Usable Port
Series	RS-232C	RS-422/485(4 wire)	RS-422/485(2 wire)
PS5000 (Slim Panel Type Core i3 Model)^*1	COM1, COM2^*2	COM2^*2	COM2^*2
PS5000 (Slim Panel Type Atom Model)^*1	COM1, COM2^*3	COM2^*3	COM2^*3
PS5000 (Enclosed Panel Type)^*4	COM1	-	-
PS5000 (Modular Type PFXPU/PFXPP/PFXPL2B5-6)^*1	COM1^*3	COM1^*3	COM1^*3
PS5000 (Modular Type PFXPL2B1-4)^*1	COM1, COM2^*3	COM2^*3	COM2^*3
PS6000 (Advanced Box/Standard Box)	COM1^*5	^*6	^*6
PS6000 (Basic Box)	COM1^5, COM2^5	COM1^5, COM2^5	COM1^5, COM2^5
PSA6000	COM1	COM2^*2	COM2^*2

^*1An optional interface module cannot be used.

^*2Set up the SIO type with the BIOS. Please refer to the IPC manual for details of BIOS.

^*3Set up the SIO type with the DIP Switch. Please refer to the IPC manual for details of DIP Switch.

^*4For the connection with the External device, on the user-created cable read as if the connector on the Display-side is a M12 A-coding 8 pin socket. The pin assignment is the same as described in the cable diagram. For the M12 A-coding connector, use PFXZPSCNM122.

^*5In addition to COM, you can also use the COM port on the optional interface.

^*6Install the optional interface in the expansion slot.

Terminal Resistance of IPC

When using the termination resistance of IPC, remove the termination resistance on the display unit side from the cable diagram. To use the termination resistance of IPC, the following conditions should be met:

For more details about the termination resistance and the resistance value, refer to the hardware manual.
