RS-232↔485/422 CONVERTERS 2. Introduction The RS-232↔485/422 Converter Plus is an RS-232-to-RS-485 interface converter that operates in the same manner as a line driver. It allows an RS-232 device to transmit data over much longer distances than is normally possible (up to 4 miles—6.4 km—at 1200 bps). The advantage of the RS-232↔485/422 Converter Plus over other line drivers is that it can also operate in multipoint applications. Depending on the operating environment, as many as 64 devices can

CHAPTER 3: Installation 3. Installation This section describes the jumper and switch functions for configuring the RS-232↔485/422 Converter. See Figure 1 on the next page for the component locations. To install your RS-232↔485/422 Converter: 1. Set each of the ten jumpers/switches for your application. 2. Connect the RS-232↔485/422 Converter devices together as shown in Figures 5 through 8 (pages 23–25). 3. Apply power. (PS154 or PS154E, depending on which RS-232↔485/422 Converter you have. See

RS-232↔485/422 CONVERTERS NOTE When the jumper W9 (CTS) is in the ON position and jumper W15 is in the A-B position, the RS-485 driver is always turned on to enable transmission of data. Therefore, half-duplex transmission cannot be performed. See Section 3.1.5 for an explanation of the RS-485 driver. Figure 1. Layout of the Printed Circuit Board. 10

CHAPTER 3: Installation 3.1.4 CTS DELAY (W9 JUMPER) When the transmitter of a device is first turned on, an unstable carrier signal is transmitted for several milliseconds. If data was sent during this period, it would be received as distorted information. Setting a CTS delay on the RS-232↔485/422 Converter allows the communications link to settle down before data can be sent.

RS-232↔485/422 CONVERTERS Driver Enabled by Data The RS-485 driver can also be enabled without requiring an RS-232 control lead to be asserted. When jumper W15 is placed in the B-C position, the driver is enabled when data is received on the RS-232 port of the RS-232↔485/422 Converter. As soon as the first bit of the first character is received at the RS-232 port, the RS-485 driver is enabled and an internal timer is started. The timer begins its “time out” on a low (0) to high (1) transition of

CHAPTER 3: Installation Point-to-Point When only two devices are connected to the line in a point-to-point application, each device should have the termination network connected to the line. Set switch S2 to the “TERM” position. Multipoint For multipoint applications, switch S2 should be in the “UNTERM” position on all the RS-232↔485/422 Converter devices in the network except for the two units at the extreme opposite locations on the line. The extreme opposite devices are the two devices that h

CHAPTER 3: Installation Opto-isolated barrier in IC109 models Figure 4. Simplified Functional Block Diagram (DTE Operation). NOTE The delay settings for W9 apply only to the CTS output of the RS-232↔485/422 Converter. Since CTS is not used when the RS-232↔485/422 Converter is configured as a DTE device, placing jumper W9 in either the 0-, 10-, or 30-msec position will allow the CD input to enable the RS-485 driver. When jumper W9 is in the ON position, the CD input has no affect on the RS-485
