Basic Port Multiplexer Operation
Port Multiplexer is a Port Switch for devices like PLCs, Inverters, System requirements for Port Multiplexer Setup Software are:
Controllers etc. Port Multiplexer has three serial ports that connect Windows Version : Microsoft Windows 9x / NT / 2000 / XP
with three different devices that support same protocol. Port Processor : PENTIUM or higher
Multiplexer communicates with the PLC to get the information Hard disk Space : 5 MB or more
required by two master devices. Mouse : Required
RAM : 16 MB or more
Windows® based Port Multiplexer Setup software helps the user Display resolution : 800 X 600 (VGA) or better
to configure unit. Display colors : 16 bit color
Once the Application is defined in Setup Software the configura- Other Items required for Port Multiplexer configuration:
tion is downloaded in the Port Multiplexer. 1. Port Multiplexer unit
2. Port Multiplexer Configuration Cable
The Unit can now communicate with the connected devices and 3. Port Multiplexer Setup Software
transfer data between them. 4. Devices with communication cables
Commuication Ports
Port Multiplexer has two identical communication ports Master1 and Master2 and third port to connect a PLC. Master ports are
compatible to RS232 signal levels and PLC port supports RS232 / RS422 / 2 or 4 wire RS485 / CMOS signal levels. Pin details are
