The <b>Port H</b> interface was factory-configured for Profibus with a Eurotherm Profibus Comms card (AH026222U002). A 9-pin D-sub connector (part number PROF9PIND) provides access to RS-485 compatible signaling on pin #3 (Tx/Rx +Ve) and pin #8 (Tx/Rx -Ve) along with GND on pin #5. The iTools software allows configuring the Profibus interface to speak MODBUS, thereby allowing it to become the primary software configuration interface (freeing up <b>Port J</b> for system-level communication). | |||
=== Port J === | |||
The <b>Port J</b> interface is configured for RS-485 MODBUS communication at 19.2 kbps 8N1. | |||
