- Typical connection example
Network example
Connecting temperature controllers, scales, and inverters to a network can be done using RS-232C, RS-485, or any other supported open network connection.
- Network-compatible units or connection interfaces are required for PLCs and PCs.
- A 1:1 connection is used for connections via RS-232C.
KEYENCE serial communication units
Most temperature controllers, scales, and inverters support RS-232C, RS-485, and other serial communication protocols. KEYENCE’s KV-XL202/XL402 serial communication unit and PROTOCOL STUDIO serial communication setup software make communicating with temperature controllers, scales, inverters, and other devices incredibly simple.

Typical connection example
Connecting to a network makes it possible to collect and manage various information from temperature controllers, scales, and inverters. This allows for simplified setting value changeovers and other operations.
The following example includes network-connected inverters.
Serial communication is used to centrally manage equipment operation monitoring and setup changes.
Utilizing serial communication with inverters and other devices makes it possible to read and change operating frequency and other parameters all at once. This helps reduce the amount of work required by eliminating the need to set the parameters for each communication device. Serial communication unit functionality also makes it possible for the PLC to be regularly updated with the most current values and other information from communication devices with absolutely no ladder programming required.
