Additional parts in SA-C135 upgrade kit for EML224 graphic unit

Part no Revision Description Number of

ZZK-01031 Cable RS232 for DL850/EML224 CPU/Terminal PCB 1
ZZK-01032 Communication cable for DL850/EML224 RS422 1
Terminal/Terminal PCB
ZZZ-03001EML A14 PCB RS 422 Terminal for EML224 Cabinet 1

In the EML224 there are 2 additional changes that requires new parts.

The NMEA RS422 to RS232 conversion is performed on the terminal PCB before going to
CPU PCB.
The two NMEA cables ZZK-01031 and ZZK-01032 are supplied

A bug in the older version of ZZZ-030011EML prevented 2 way communication with the
sensor. Signal was received from sensor but no commands would be sent down from cabi-
net to sensor.
With the new version A14 of the PCB the 2 way communication is enabled.

Please note:
2 way communication requires 2 pairs (Rx and Tx) cables run from cabinet via electronic
unit to sensor.
In Software versions <1.27.23 No commands are sent to sensor.
In software version from 1.27.23 sensor format command is sent to the sensor (EML224
format).
