Note: The shaded area denotes ground. Signals are listed in the following order: RS232 followed by
RS485/RS422. Signals marked with # indicate Active Low.
Table 3-2. Serial Port Interface Pin Signal Definitions (J7, J9, J10, and J11)
Pin # Signal DB9 # Description
1 DCD# 1 Data Carrier Detect – Indicates external serial device is detecting a
carrier signal (i.e., a communication channel is currently open). In direct
connect environments, this input is driven by DTR as part of the DTR/
DSR handshake.
2 DSR# 6 Data Set Ready – Indicates external serial device is powered, initialized,
and ready. Used as hardware handshake with DTR for overall readiness.
3RXD
Rx Data –
2 Receive Data – Serial port receive data input is typically held at a logic 1
(mark) when no data is being transmitted, and is held “Off” for a brief
interval after an “On” to “Off” transition on the RTS line to allow the
transmission to complete.
Serial Port 1 or 2 – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is Rx Data Negative.
4RTS#
Tx Data +
7 Request To Send – Indicates serial port is ready to transmit data. Used as
hardware handshake with CTS for low level flow control.
Serial Port 1 or 2 – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is Tx Data Positive.
5TXD
Tx Data –
3 Transmit Data – Serial port transmit data output is typically held to a
logic 1 when no data is being sent. Typically, a logic 0 (On) must be
present on RTS, CTS, DSR, and DTR before data can be transmitted on
this line.
Serial Port 1 or 2 – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is Tx Data Negative.
6CTS#
Rx Data +
8 Clear To Send – Indicates external serial device is ready to receive data.
Used as hardware handshake with RTS for low level flow control.
Serial Port 1 or 2 – If in RS-485 mode, this pin is Rx Data Positive.
7 DTR# 4 Data Terminal Ready – Indicates serial port is powered, initialized, and
ready. Used as hardware handshake with DSR for overall readiness.
8 RI# 9 Ring Indicator – Indicates external serial device is detecting a ring
condition. Used by software to initiate operations to answer and open the
communications channel.
