COM1/2/3/4
The controller features 4 sets of programmable two-way
multi-mode serial ports, each of which is a 3.5mm 9-pin
phoenix connector (male), compliant with RS232,
RS232+Hardware Flow, RS485 and RS422 communica-
tion protocols, and capable of configuring 8 baud rates
in the range of 2400-115200bps.
More information on the pin-outs of the connector, see
table 5-1.
COM5/6/7/8

mode serial port, each of which is a 3.5mm 3-pin phoenix
connector (male), compliant with RS232 communication
protocol, and capable of configuring 8 baud rates in the
range of 2400-115200bps.
The pin-outs of the RS232 ports are PIN1 for TXD,
PIN2 for GND, and PIN3 for RXD.

6RESET (1)
Reboot: When the device boots up, press and hold the
RESET button for more than 1s less than 5s, then
release it, the STA LED on the front panel will flash for
five times, indicating that the device is going to reboot.
The user projects won’t be auto-uploaded to the
controller after rebooting.

No. Name
10 Digital I/O
8-CH GPIO dry contact input interface, with a voltage
range of 0~24V, for collecting digital level signals, capable
of low level signal sensing.
7 USB Port The reserved port for function extension.
8 COMPUTER The reserved port for test debugging.
9 LAN
The Controller provides a standard 10M/100M/1000M
Ethernet RJ45 interface with default auto-negotiated speed
for device connection, projects uploading & downloading,
network communication and debugging.
The controller boots up with DHCP enabled by default.
After powering on, when the Controller connects to a network
where there is no router present to assign IP addresses,
the Controller will take the pre-set IP address: 192.168.0.101.
If there is a router present on the same network, the router
will assign an IP address to the Controller in three minutes
and the pre-set IP address will be invalid.
Note: When the controller is DHCP enabled after power on, the router
(if connected to the same network) will assign an IP address to the
Controller. If network is disconnected at this time, the Controller won’t
be able to pre-set an IP address and its IP address would be 0.0.0.0.
If a pre-set IP address is needed, you need to power off the Controller
and then power it on again. If it is in static IP mode after power on, the
Controller won’t preset an IP address either. If there is no router
present, you can connect your PC to the LAN port of the Controller
and modify the PC’s IP address in the range of 192.168.0.X, then the
PC will pre-set an IP address to the Controller in three minutes for data
communication.
Function Description
6RESET (2)
Reset: When the device boots up, press and hold the
RESET button for more than 5s, then release it, the STA
LED on the front panel will flash for 5 times, the device will
reset the user configuration information, the IP will be
restored to DHCP state, the login password of the manage-
ment page will be initialized to “admin”, the device time will
be initialized to automatic acquisition mode, but user
projects won’t be deleted by factory initialization.

12 IR-SERIAL
OUTPUT
The Controller features 8 sets of multi-mode 2-PIN
phoenix connectors for IR transmitting or one-way
serial signal outputting. The ports can connect to devices
with signal level 0-5V in RS232 mode. The left pin is for
IR/serial data, the right for GND.
The IR-Serial working mode is programmable:
In IR transmitting mode, the outputting IR wave length
ranges within 20K-60KHZ.
In one-way serial data outputting mode, the left pin is
for TXD, the right for GND, and both are configurable in
the program.
No. Name Function Description
11 Relay OUTPUT
The Controller features 8 sets of relay 2-PIN phoenix
connectors; each relay is isolated and normally open,
and can switch up to 2A 30VDC / 1A 125VAC peak.
The connector does not support voltage output.
