Chapter 2 Communication
Before performing any communication, it is better to understand the hardware interface of TP series and how to set
the communication settings in TPEditor software program. Please refer to the following sections for the method of
communication.
An external 24V DC power is required when activating TP series. After the power is in connected to TP series, the
start-up display will show up first and then the system main menu of TP series will appear. Choose “4.TP SETUP” >
“1.Communication Protocol”. There are three items regarding the communication settings:
1. TP Settings: It is used to set the communication address of TP series.
2. RS232: It is used to set the transmission speed (baud rate), data length, parity check, and stop bit of RS-
232 communication.
3. RS485: It is used to set the transmission speed (baud rate), data length, parity check, and stop bit of RS-
485 communication.
The above three items should be set in accordance with the settings set in Tools(T) > Communication Settings(C)
to ensure the correct communication (Figure 2-1). After selecting Tools(T) > Communication Settings(C), the
Communication Setting dialog box will open (Figure 2-2) and the users can set TP Station Address, PC COM Port
and Baud Rate these options. Please ensure that the actual communication address of TP series and the settings
set in TPEditor must be the same; otherwise a communication error may occur.
