Is it somehow possible rs485 for outputing signals to external hardware? Do we need additional hardware for this?
There is option 970-1 for a RS232 serial port.
Oh great, I hope its docuemented. Thanks again
Getting back to this, do I need to buy additional hardware or is it software only? Thanks for your help
Depends on the main computer you have in the controller - from RobotWare 5.6 on (= DSQC10xx series main computers) the serial port is an additional piece of hardware - which you would have if you are using any of the AnyBus communication adapters.
Thanks so much, so if I buy something like this
it be OK?
What I was meaning is the carrier for the anybus adapter has the serial port built into it (as below picture) - so if you have any of the ABB anybus options you will have a serial port.
If not you can buy just the carrier and retro fit it to the main computer.
Thanks so much we confirmed we dont have a serial port at least
