Connect the control terminal to the REMOTE3 (D-sub 25-pin) connector of the primary station as shown
below. The control terminal is used for setting of the router system and for displaying the information of

errors, problems, system status, etc. during operation.
Use the personal computer installing the terminal software as the control terminal of the router system.

n
REMOTE 3 connector of BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 is D-sub 9-pin connector.

When BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is set to the primary station, connect the control terminal to the unit by
using the RS-232C cross cable.

The control terminal is not able to connect to the system which primary station is set to BKPF-300 series.

DVS-V3232B/V6464B is able to monitor all the input and output signals when the optional monitor

board BKDS-V3292B is installed, whose CPU is used exclusively for monitoring. It forms a monitor S-
BUS data link via the REMOTE4 connector.

In this manual, the monitor control line is called “monitor S-BUS” to distinguish it from the control line
of the main S-BUS using for changing crosspoints. The main S-BUS is called “standard S-BUS” or

simply “S-BUS”. Excluding the system control, the monitor S-BUS has exactly the same protocol and
communication format as that of the standard S-BUS.

The input monitor and output monitor can be either used separately or combined. They can be also

connected in cascade. As the crosspoint control of the monitor is performed separately from the standard
S-BUS control system, a primary station for the monitor S-BUS must be designated in addition to that set

for the standard S-BUS.
The configuration of the monitor S-BUS is set with the control terminal connected to the primary station

on the standard S-BUS.
