The RS232-RS485 adapter circuit diagram is show below, RS232 DB9 is used as the RS232 port, while only a terminal block is used as RS485 connector. Most newer consumer electronics comes with an USB, Firewire or other high-speed communication port, however a lot of industrial and commercial equipment, both old and new, is made only with a RS485 or RS422 serial communications port. You have to power up the slaves before the master, since the RS485 master searches for slaves only at startup. A RS485 bus consists of one master and multiple slaves. For master configuration choose "Master" as type and input the addresses of the slaves in the RS485 bus as a comma separated list. At the end, press "Save RS485 Configuration" to save the configuration permanently on the RS485 Extension. The Master Brick has to be restarted to apply the new configuration. However since only a true RS485 network can have addressable serial RS485 devices, the RS232 converter needs to be addressable either by software or by DIP switches when using it in this type of configuration. The advantage of the RS485 protocol is that this it can transfer data over longer distances, up to 4000 feet, and have up to 32 nodes per single network, and it can be used for multi-point networks where multiple serial devices are setup in a bus network.

Sometimes it is necessary to transmit over longer distances, or to run networks with spurs off the main cable run. The main cable must be no longer than 700 m! In recent years, advancements in RS485 cable technology have focused on improving data transfer speeds and increasing the efficiency of data transmission. So in order to transfer data from a RS232 serial interface engineers need a converter to be able to connect to a RS485 or RS422 interface. If you restart the RS485 Slave, only the Bricks/Bricklets that are connected to this stack will send the initial enumeration message again. If you restart the RS485 Master, every Brick/Bricklet of the RS485 network will send the initial enumeration message again. I am beginning to suspect that the board is not writing to the RS485 adapter correctly, or that pins are not mapped correctly. 32 channel N-MOSFET board. Header for offboard FTDI Module (can be right angle or vertical), "L" LED at the edge of the board. This MJ20-PRG module clicks in the PLC and provides one RJ11 socket for serial communications with a PC.

RS485, also known as TIA/EIA-485 is a standard serial communications protocol defining the electrical characteristics of a serial converter, drivers and receivers for use in balanced RS485 digital multipoint systems. RS485 master is the Master Brick which has a USB, Ethernet or WIFI connection to the PC running brickd. Connect the Master Brick via USB, Ethernet or WIFI with your PC and start the Brick Viewer software. You should now be able to see all connected stacks in the Brick Viewer. To create a RS485 bus, stack the RS485 Extension on top of a Master Brick. A RS232 - RS485 converter is often used in industrial data acquisition and control applications where multiple serial devices communicate with each other through a converter. The typical serial converter does this in both directions which is also referred to as a bi-directional converter. The RS485 converter interface uses two wires for communication, one for transmitting and one for receiving data, which is referred to as a half-duplex communication converter. The RS485 interface allows the creation of multi-point networks. Usually a RS232 - RS485 converter is the preferred way to establish multi-point networks when working with RS232 devices.

This is a method for connecting multiple RS485 devices with each other over a two-wire network. We also highly recommend using paired twisted cable for connecting most converters. If the bus is longer than a few meters then some kind of twisted pair cable is recommended. If the bus is only a few meters long then the cable you use should not matter. The RS485 cable possesses several features contributing to its effectiveness in data communication. Why use a RS232 - RS485 /RS422 converter? If you want to use a stack with RS485 Extension in your existing Modbus network, you have to match the values with the other bus participants. Some of these converters can convert from RS232 to both RS485 and RS422 however many standard models only has one of the protocols. A RS232 - RS422 converter is a 4-wire, full-duplex, differential protocol with multi-drop capabilities and a recommended distance limit of 4000ft. ANSI/TIA/EIA-422-B is the American national standard for the RS422 protocol.
