CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
4.2.1 RS232 Interface
The serial interface is used in this case for point-to-point connections; it handles
communication with the host computer and allows both transmission of code data and the
programming of the scanner. This is the default setting.
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection:
It is always advisable to use shielded cables. The overall maximum cable length must be
less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
Figure 39 – RS232 Main Interface Connections Using Hardware Handshaking
The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.
Figure 40 - RS232 Control Signals
If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS2400N activates the RTS output to
indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTS input to enable
the transmission.
