The USB-Nano-485 connects RS-485 devices very easily using a standard PC USB-port.
Features:
-
Echo and Bus Termination are configurable using 4 way DIL-switches.
-
Status LEDs for transmit, receive and power facilitate error diagnostics.
-
Plug-in connector for quick and easy connection.
-
Suited for use with notebooks and configuration kits.
The device is connected to the PC directly or through an USB extension cable which is included. After connection a yellow power LED lights up. At first use, you must install the driver from CD.
Connection to the RS-485-Bus:
X - not used
A - RS-485-Bus Data+
B - RS-485-Bus Data-
Settings:
To configure Echo or termination resistors, screw at the bottom cover to remove the top cover and gain access to the DIP switches.
Echo:
When DIL switch SW 1 is ON, an Echo is produced on the receive line. Several protocols use this to check data transmission validity. Default is Echo off.
Bus Termination:
( 1x220Ω and 2x390Ω). In general, both ends of a RS-485-bus should be terminated. If the device itself terminates the bus, the DIL switches SW 2-4 should be “ON”. Default is termination resistors connected.
Technical Data:
2-wire, RS-485.
Up to 32 devices on the bus.
Maximum cable length 1,200 m.
Up to 3 MBit/sec data rate.
