== Network Interfaces ==
There are two digital communication (also referred to here as "network interfaces") on the Eurotherm 3508.
=== Port H ===
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.
