INTRODUCTION (INDUSTRIAL RS485
TO RS422 CONVERTER / REPEATER)
|
|
|
 |
|
The RPT-485_422-2 is
an industrial-grade
(wide temperature range with surge & static protection)
bi-directional
RS-485 to RS-422 converter, which can be used to convert a two-wire RS-485
signal into a four-wire RS-422 signal, and vice versa. It
can also be used to extend the RS-485 or RS-422 distance to
up to 4000 ft (1.2km).
This industrial-grade RS485 to
RS422 converter operates within a
wide temperature range (-40ºF
to 185ºF / -40ºC to 85ºC),
and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static
protection.
The unit features data direction auto-turnaround. Therefore,
no flow control is required.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RS485 RS422
CONVERTER
|
| |
|
| |
1) External 5VDC power input |
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
-
CAUTION: Be sure that the
DC power applied to pin +5V and GND is within the range
of +4.75V to +5.25V (5V ±5%). Excessive input voltage or
incorrect polarity connection could damage the
converter.
|
| |
2) Loopback Test |
| |
 |
| |
-
Connect an RPT-485_422-2 to your PC's RS422 port and
remove Jumper 1 and terminate Jumper 2 and 3
on the loopback-side termination board
(as shown above).
-
Run 232Analyzer
FREE version software on your computer.
-
Select "ASCII" for both the Send and Receive data
formats. Then send command and/or string such as
"CommFront" from the 232Analyzer software. You should
receive an echo of the command/string sent
("CommFront"). By performing a simple loopback test like
this, you can test both the transmitter and receiver of
the converter. This is very helpful when you are in
doubt about the performance of your converter.

232Analyzer is an advanced RS232 Serial Protocol Analyzer
software
that allows you to control, monitor and analyze serial port
(RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / TTL, etc.) activities.
Not just the data,
it also allows you to monitor or change RS-232's line
states: RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI.
