The pinouts of the Miniconverter are shown in the following two tables. The first table shows the
pinout for the RS-232 port, the second table shows the RS-422 port.
Pin Assignments, RS-232 Port
Table D-1 is for the RS-232 port. The direction of signal flow is with respect to the Miniconverter.
Table D-1. Miniconverter RS-232 Port
The pinouts were chosen to allow direct connection (using a straight through, or 1 to 1 cable (as
provided with kit)) to the IBM PC-AT. Most IBM compatible computers equipped with an RS-232
port will provide a pinout compatible with the one shown above.
Pin Assignments, RS-422 Port
Table D-2 is the pinout for the Miniconverter's RS-422 serial port. The direction of signal flow is
also with respect to the Miniconverter.
