Note:
Only the beginning of the order number is displayed in each case in the table, because the type of cable is coded. The length is coded in the digits not shown at the back.

Angular adapters:
The angular adapter (9-pin) forwards all the signals in pin-compatible form. The RS422/RS232 converter (9-pin) is for connecting third-party PLCs to a panel that needs an RS232 physical. When using the converter of the RS422, you must set the RS422 interface in the configuration tool. The adapter implements the signals purely physically outside the panel.

More information on angular adapters is available in Entry ID 22150270 and in the following PDF document:

RS 422 - RS 232 Converter.pdf ( 174 KB )
