The CM-232 communication module provides an RS-232 interface to almost any RS-232 enabled device. It attaches to an RTI control system such as the XP-6s Control Processor on one end, and a device's DB-9 serial port connector on the other end. The CM-232 is capable of one-way transmission (no receive function is supported) of user-defined character or binary strings. These character strings, as well as the baud rate, parity, and bit structure are programmed using RTI's Integration Designer software package.
