Does anyone know that?
I have 2 kinds board which convert Rs232 signal to TTL to control the contactors.One works because it is special made for DSS200 Rs232 Automation,but very expensive.Another is bought in the market,but doesnt work with DSS200.I think this is because the code send from the serial that i dont know.Can anyone tell me about that?

Dolby's RS232 for the servers is open ended. You make it what ever YOU want. YOU choose the serial string it sends and what to call that serial string. You all need to set its speeds, bits, parity, stop bits as well as any termination characters.
