 Chapter 1 Remote Operation Mode

DB9 in the rear panel of electronic load could connect with RS-232 through a TTL connector. The
following information may help you to know how to control the electronic load through PC.

1.1 Communication Modules Introduction

DB9 in the rear panel of the DC load IT8511+/IT8511A+/IT8511B+/IT8512+

/IT8512A+/IT8512B+/IT8512C+/IT8512H+/IT8513A+/IT8513C+ is TTL level,
which can be connected to the serial port of the PC through the level
conversion of the accessory. The communication module is
IT-E121/IT-E121A/IT-E122/IT-E123.

IT8513B+/IT8514B+/IT8514C+/IT8516C+ comes standard with RS232 and

USB communication interfaces, no need to purchase
IT-E121/IT-E121A/IT-E122/IT-E123.

Please do not connect the standard RS232 cable to the

IT8511+/IT8511A+/IT8511B+/IT8512+/IT8512A+/IT8512B+/IT851
2C+/IT8512H+/IT8513A+/IT8513C+ electronic load, which may
damage the instrument.

IT-E121 Communication Module

The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level; You can use IT-E121 communication module and IT-E121's own RS232
extension cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of the DC load and
the RS-232 interface connector of the computer for communication.

5
IT-E121A Communication Module
The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level; IT-E121A is derived from IT-E121 (not including communication cable).
The main difference is that the DB9 female connector on the RS232 end is
converted to a male connector.

IT-E121A communication cable

IT-E122 Communication Module

The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level; IT-E122 has a USB interface (male connector B) on one end, you can
use IT-E122 and a standard USB extension cable (type B female connector at
one end and type A at one end) to connect the DB9 interface connector of the
DC load and the USB interface connector of computer for the communication.
After connecting the load and computer by USB, you need to install IT-E122
driver (download from ITECH official website or contact ITECH agent). The
device manager of PC will display ‘Prolific USB-to-Serial COM Port’ after
installing.

IT-E123 Communication Module

The DB9 interface connector on the rear panel of the DC load is TTL voltage
level;
The interface on both side port of IT-E123 are DB9 interface and RS485
6
 interface, you can use the communication module IT-E123 and an a standard
RS485-RS232 conversion cable to connect the DB9 interface connector of
the DC load and the RS-232 interface connector of computer for the
communication.

RS485 pins

1.2 Communication with PC

Before using the remote operation mode, please make sure that the baud rate
and communication address in the DC load are the same as in the computer
software, otherwise, the communication will fail, you can change the baud
rate and communication address from the front panel or from computer.

DB9 Serial Port

In order for the computer to communicate with the DC load, both must be set
to the same RS-232 settings. These communication settings are:
1. Baud rate: 4800,9600,19200 and 38400 are selectable, default setting is
9600.
2. Data bit: 8 bit
3. Stop bit: 1
4. Parity: None
5. Address: the range is from 0 to 31, default setting is 0

Start Bit 8 Data Bits Parity=None Stop Bit

7
RS-232
IT8513B+/IT8514B+/IT8514C+/IT8516C+ electronic load has a DB9 interface
on rear panel. Connect E-load and computer by cable of COM ends (DB9).
Composite key [Shift] + [8] on front board can be used to enter system menu
for activation.
 RS-232 Interface
In RS-232 interface, all SCPI commands can be used for programming. If
RS-232 interface is selected, in accordance with internal connection of data
terminal equipment (DTE) and data communication equipment (DCE) as
defined in EIA RS-232, the load is connected to another DTE (e.g., PC COM
interface) with direct-connected Modem cable.

USB Interface
Connect the load and the computer using a cable with two USB interfaces
(each end). All functions of the load can be programmed via USB.
After connecting the load and computer by USB, you need to install IT-E122
driver (download from ITECH official website or contact ITECH agent). The
device manager of PC will display ‘Prolific USB-to-Serial COM Port’ after
installing.
Notes: Only IT8513B+/IT8514B+/IT8514C+/IT8516C+ models have the USB
communication interface. After the driver is installed successfully, use USB
line to connect in communication. (Please don’t connect DB9 interface at the
same time). Don’t need to set the menu.
