® CyberResearch Serial Communications COMT 366 Series 1.0 General Description The COMT 366 converter provides a convenient method of interfacing EIA-232-based equipment with an RS-485 network using a half-duplex, single twisted-pair transmission protocol. The COMT 366 provides the capability for a high-speed, low cost, local area network. Up to 32 users can be supported at rates up to 38.4K Baud and total separations of 6,000 feet. The LCD feature assists with installation and troublesh

® COMT 366 Series CyberResearch Serial Communications If the transmit signal is in the quiescent state (continuously low) only the lower segments and the vertical bar will be illuminated. This indicates a constant negative state. If the transmit or receive inputs to the device were streaming, i.e., in the positive mode continuously, the LCD display would show the vertical segment and the upper segments only. For those cases where there is valid data transmission, both the upper and low

® COMT 366 Series CyberResearch Serial Communications 3.0 Installation The COMT 366 is designed to interface EIA-232 with RS-485 equipment. The EIA-232 device can be either a DTE or DCE type device. The DTE/DCE selector switch allows for reversing Pins 2 and 3 ( TD and RD), thereby eliminating the need for null modem cables. If the switch is in the DTE position, Pin 2 of the RS-232 connector is an output for the COMT 366. The half-duplex nature of RS-485 allows for a Master-Slave c

® CyberResearch Serial Communications COMT 366 Series 4.0 Operation Operation in an RS-485 environment requires all devices attached to the network to have some level of intelligence in order to establish an orderly flow of data on the single twisted pair. The COMT 366 offers three possibilities for hardware data flow control. The user selects the mode which avoids the contention problem. Unless contention is resolved, there is the possible collision of data caused by two devices attemp

® COMT 366 Series CyberResearch Serial Communications 4.1 Termination of the Line There are four user-selectable resistive terminating values which are implemented using switches A and B of the dipswitch. As the length of the transmission cable and the number of users increases, the chosen value becomes more critical to error-free operation. Typically, devices at the end of a long bus are terminated and units multi-dropped between the ends are not terminated. The cable used to connec

® CyberResearch Serial Communications COMT 366 Series 5.0 Troubleshooting The following is a list of possible problems that may arise during the installation and solutions to those problems: 1. The data being received is garbled. a) The DTE/DCE switch is not set properly (see Section 3.0, "Installation"). On the COMT 366, observe the LCD and verify that TD and RD are shown as low in the quiescent state (see Section 1.1, "The LCD"). b) The equipment that the COMT 366 is connected t

® COMT 366 Series CyberResearch Serial Communications 7.0 Power The COMT 366 can be either host or self powered. In the self-powered mode, a wall- mounted transformer supplies low voltage AC and the required +12, -12, and +5 Volts are generated internally. For COMT 366, supply +12 volts on Pin 9. 7.1 COMT 366 The COMT 366 is powered by a small, wall-mounted transformer that supplies 12 VDC @ 500 mA. The transformer must be connected to the COMT 366 through the 1.3mm connector loc
