Computer and Workcell Communication
RS-232 Communication
A RS-232 connection will use a straight through connection. The Rx and Tx lines are
crossed internally on the controller so a null modem is not necessary. The controller baud
rate and handshaking are set with dip switches on the Galil controller inside the workcell
enclosure. Hardware handshaking must be enabled to communicate with PathMaster®
over RS-232.
DMC-2200 Dip Switch Settings
The main RS-232 port on the DMC-2200 controller must be configured as shown to
communicate with the PathMaster® software. Baud rate can be adjusted, but handshaking
must be “On”.
See Figure 23 on next page.

Note: If hardware handshaking is enabled and a computer is not attached to the Main
RS-232 port, when the program uses the message command the controller eventually
halts. A computer must be attached to the controller when handshaking is enabled
and message commands are used.
Serial Communications
To configure serial connections do the steps below.
1. Select Setup
→
Machine Parameters from the Main menu in PathMaster to open the
Machine Parameters window.
2. Select the “Edit Controllers” button in the Machine Parameters window.
3. Select “OK” if a message shows that PathMaster® could not find any controllers in
the Windows® registry. This means that no control handles have been configured yet.
4. Select “New Controller” in the Edit Registry window.
