Product Description:
The SER-CK cable assembly is supplied by Copley Controls as part of the Copley Controls Accessories series. It provides a serial connection between a host computer and the command port on a compatible Copley servo drive. Through this connection, the host can transfer drive parameters and retrieve diagnostic information for setup and maintenance. The cable is intended for industrial automation systems where direct access to the drive’s serial service port is required.
An integrated adapter provides a D-Sub 9F-to-RJ-11 connection, allowing a standard PC COM port to connect directly to the drive service jack. The cable measures 7 ft (2.13 m), providing sufficient reach between equipment inside a control cabinet and a nearby computer. Its conductors use a straight-wired arrangement, so the applicable D-Sub pins connect directly to their corresponding modular plug contacts without crossed signal paths. Communication follows the RS-232 standard, using voltage levels and timing compatible with common serial hardware. The default communication speed is 9,600 baud, providing suitable data transfer for parameter blocks and drive status information. These connections allow the host and drive to exchange serial data without an additional crossover adapter.
The modular plug has a 6P6C format and fits the drive’s RJ-11 receptacle, which has six indexed positions and four active contacts. The indexed shell guides the plug during insertion and helps maintain proper contact alignment. The connection supports full-duplex communication, keeping the transmit and receive paths independent so data can travel in both directions. Internal routing follows a three-wire DTE arrangement consisting of transmit, receive, and signal ground, so separate hardware-handshake conductors are unnecessary. Each serial data word contains 8 data bits, one stop bit, and no parity. This framing reduces communication overhead while remaining compatible with the drive’s default serial settings. Once the matching port settings are selected on the host, the connection can carry parameter commands and diagnostic responses through the same cable assembly.
