Industrial, Externally Powered, Isolated RS232 to 2-Wire RS485 / 4-Wire RS422 Converter

Model CON-485/422-EE9

Category: RS232 to RS422 Converters

DESCRIPTION

The CON-485/422-EE9 is an industrial grade bi-directional externally powered 2.5K isolated RS232 to RS485/RS422 converter which converts a full-duplex RS232 port to a half-duplex two-wire RS485 or full-duplex four-wire RS422 port. A built-in data direction auto-turnaround feature automatically enables the RS485/RS422 driver when data is present from the RS232 port, eliminating the need for software drivers, and making the device fully plug-and-play. The CON-485/422-EE9 is an effective solution for protecting RS232, RS485 and RS422 devices from voltage surges, lightning strikes, ground loop conditions and signal noise problems. The unit is not reliant on port power so you do not have to worry about the RS232's ability to power the converter. The CON-485/422-EE9 has a DB9 female connector on the RS232 serial port, and either a DB9 male connector, RJ45 female connector or terminal block with built-in 120 Ohm termination option. Two terminal blocks are included; one for the RS485 and other for RS422. The terminal block plugs into the RS485/RS422 port, providing screw-lug wire terminations for the port. The unit is enclosed in a heavy duty steel housing for rugged applications. This converter operates from 0 to 115,200 baud.

TERMINATION GUIDE

The CON-485/422-EE9 terminal block has an optional built-in 120 ohm termination. 120 ohm termination is an advanced feature typically used to reduce noise and signal reflections. It is recommended to use 120 Ohm termination if you are exceeding 600 feet in distance, 19.6K baud or in a noisy environment. The terminal blocks are shipped with 120 Ohm termination off but can be turned on using the convenient jumper setting located on the left bottom of the terminal block.

CON-485/422-EE9 Dimensions

Using one CON-485/422-EE9 unit:

  1. Check that all connections comply with the connection diagrams.
  2. Perform a loop back test on one unit:
    1. Connect the TX+ to RX+ and TX- to RX- on the RS-485/RS-422 port.
    2. Connect the RS-232 port to the PC RS-232 port.
    3. Running a hyper terminal program on the PC, send ASCII characters to the CON-485/422-EE9 converter from one PC port, and check that the characters are received at the same PC port. This tests that the transmit and receive functions of the CON-485/422-EE9 unit is working properly.

Using two CON-485/422-EE9 units:

  1. Check that all connections comply with the connection diagrams.
  2. Perform a loop back test on two units:
    1. Connect the two RS-485 or RS-422 ports.
    2. Connect the two RS-232 ports to two PC RS-232 ports.
    3. Running hyper terminal programs on both PCs, send ASCII characters to the CON-485/422-EE9 converter from one PC port, and check that the characters are received at the 2nd PC port. Repeat the test in the opposite direction. This tests that the transmit and receive functions of both CON-485/422-EE9 units are working properly.
