Dual Communication Port Module TI 500 Series
The Dual Communication Port Module (DCPM) has two RS232/423 ports that work independently
and permit simultaneous communication. The Operator Station does not support RS423. RS232 must
be used for communications. The two ports are identical to the programming port on the PLC. All
communication is serial with one stop bit at all baud rates, except at 110 baud, which has two stop bits.
The ports may be configured for a baud rate ranging from 110 to 19.2K, and also for DTE or DCE
mode. Standard communication parameters for communicating with TI PLCs are shown below.
These parameters are given only as a starting point and may be changed to meet the demands of your
application.
7 Data Bits
1 Stop Bit
Odd Parity
9600 Baud
Under the front access cover are two dipswitch banks. The upper dipswitch bank is for configuring
port 1, while the lower dipswitch bank is for configuring port 2. The configuration switches are
shown in the following figure.

Set switch 4 to the 1 position to select DTE mode or into the 0 position to select DCE mode. Switches
5 through 8 are not used. The Baud Rate Selection table is shown below.
