3.0 PRO101 – Multi-Channel RS-485 Operation 3.1 Overview It is possible to network up to 16 PRO101 programmers on an RS-485 network and control them from a single ‘Supervisor PC’ running a single session of the EQTools/ISP-PRO software. This scenario requires that each PRO101 programmer is set to ‘RS-485’ and that a unique ‘Node Address’ is set for each programmer. An RS-232 to RS-485 convertor is required to convert the RS-232 signal from the PC COM port to an optically isolated RS-485

4.0 PRO104 – 4 Channel Eurocard Rack Production ISP System 4.1 Overview The PRO104 programmer contains 4 PPM programming modules on an RS-485 network. These are controlled from a single ‘Supervisor PC’ running the ISP-PRO software. An RS- 232 to RS-485 convertor is required to convert the RS-232 signal from the PC COM port to an optically isolated RS-485 signal suitable for interfacing with the PPM’s on the network. It is possible to expand from 1 up to 4 PRO104’s (16 PPM Boards in total
