2CN on P5 (GPD505 and GPD506) Drives
Topic Description

On certain OEM application (such as a washing machine) a P5 utilizes the 2CN port to communicate by RS-232 with a PLC. RS-232 can be used to command the GPD506/505 P5 drive for operations or for monitoring purposes. 
Resolution

RS-232 C/D Serial Communication is accessed through connector 2CN on the GPD 506 P5 control board. Pin 1 on the 2CN connector is for the transmission of data, Pin 2 is for the receipt of data, and pins 6 and 7 are for the ground connection. The RS-232 C/D pin out is shown in the diagram below.
