Introduction OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 1 Introduction Overview The OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO is a single channel RS - 232 to RS - 422/485 asynchronous converter. It provides one field selectable RS-422/485 serial port supporting asynchronous data rates up to 115.2K bps. The OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO is self - powered allowing it to correctly drive mult[...]

Card Setup OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 2 Card Setup RS - 485 Enable Modes RS - 485 is ideal for multi - drop or network environments. RS - 485 requires a tri - state driver that will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be removed from the line. The driver is in a tri - state or high impedance condition when this occurs. Only one driver m[...]

The first method is ‘Auto Enable’ which us[...]

Installation OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 8 Once the software installation is complete, the port must be configured for ‘ RTS Enable ’. This is accomplished by using the Device Manager in Windows 9X, ME, and Windows 2000. The port that the OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO is attached must be selected under Ports (COM & LPT) . Access the ‘ RTS Enable[...]

Installation OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 9 System Installation The OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO can be connected to any existing RS - 232 port. A cable such as the CA - 177 can be used to attach the OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO DB - 25F to the PC’s DB - 9M connector. 1. Locate an existing RS - 232 COM: port and co nnect the OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO. 2. With th[...]

Appendix C – Electrical Interface OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 14 Appendix C - Electrical Interface RS - 232 Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS - 232. This implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as RS - 232 or EIA/TIA - 232. The IBM PC computer defined th e RS - 232 port on [...]

Appendix C – Electrical Interface OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 15 RS - 485 RS - 485 is backwardly compatible with RS - 422; however, it is optimized for partyline or multi - drop applications. The output of the RS - 422/485 driver is capable of being Active (enabled) or Tri - State (disabled). This capability allows multiple ports to be connected [...]

Appendix D – Ground Loop Phenomenon OMG - CONV - 485 - ISO Page 16 Appendix D - Ground Loop Phenomenon What is Ground Loop? Ground loop Phenomenon occurs when two (or more) pieces of equipment are connected together with a common ground and a different ground potential exists at each location. This current can cause the connected equipment to exp[...]
