SCM9B-A1000 & SCM9B-A2000 USERS MANUAL 2

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 series converter boxes convert

RS-232 communications signal levels to the correct electrical signals

required by RS-485. The RS-485 communications standard is

recommended when many DATAFORTH modules, or other addressable

devices, must be connected to a host computer over long distances. The

SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 converters allow communications

bus lengths up to 4,000 feet and baud rates up to 115K baud using one

twisted pair of wires.

The RS-485 communications standard is half-duplex, therefore data can

be transmitted in only one direction at a time. The SCM9B-A1000 and

SCM9B-A2000 automatically control the bus direction without external

handshaking signals from the host. Therefore, host software written for

RS-232 may be used without modification. RS-485 bus control is

completely transparent to the user.

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 can also operate as RS-485

repeaters. Repeaters are required to extend communications bus

lengths or allow more than 32 RS-485 devices to be connected to a

communications bus. A repeater simply reamplifies, or boosts, existing

RS-485 signals transmitted over long distances.

The SCM9B-A1000 converter boxes are powered by either 115Vac or

230Vac and contain an internal +24-volt 1A power supply for powering

DATAFORTH modules. The SCM9B-A1000 power supply is protected

against overloads and short circuits. The internal power supply may be

used to power accessory circuits such as relays or 4-20mA transmitters.

The SCM9B-A2000 converter boxes operate on a wide range of power

supply input voltage:+10 to +30Vdc unregulated.

SCM9B-A1000/2000 RS-232 DB-9 CONNECTOR

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 contain a female DB-9

connector normally used with modems or other Data Communications

Equipment (DCE). This connector should be connected to a host

computer, or controller, when converting RS-232 signals to RS-485. The

Transmit, Receive and Ground signal lines are all that is required for

proper RS-232-to-RS-485 operation. The remaining RS-232 flow control

signals Carrier Detect (CD), Data Set Ready (DSR) and Clear to Send

(CTS) are internally biased to their ACTIVE, or high, using 330 Ohm

resistors connected to +10Vdc. The RS-232 connector pinout is listed

below.

SCM9B-A1000/2000 RS-485 IN CONNECTOR

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 converters contain a four-pin

screw-terminal plug labelled RS-485 IN. This connector is considered the

HOST input when using the SCM9B-A1000 or SCM9B-A2000 as a RS-

485 repeater. An RS-485 repeater is necessary to extend the length of

an RS-485 network, or connect more than 32 RS-485 devices on an RS-

485 network.

The RS-485 IN data lines should be attached to the end of an existing

RS-485 network. The serial data received on the RS-485 IN data lines will

5SCM9B-A1000 & SCM9B-A2000 USERS MANUAL

be reamplified and retransmitted on to the RS-485 OUT connector data

lines.

This connector is left open when the SCM9B-A1000 or SCM9B-A2000 is

used as an RS-232-to-RS-485 converter.

SCM9B-A1000/2000 RS-485 OUT CONNECTOR

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 converters contain a four-pin

screw terminal plug labelled RS-485 OUT. This connector is the RS-485

output for the SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 when used as either a

converter or repeater.

SCM9B-A1000 & SCM9B-A2000 USERS MANUAL 6

BAUD RATE

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 series converters each contain a

10-position DIP switch located on the rear panel. The DIP switch is used

to select the correct communications baud rate and must be set to the

same value as the devices connected to the RS-485 OUT connector.

Only one baud rate switch may be turned on at one time.

LEDS

The SCM9B-A1000 contains three status LEDs labelled FAULT,

POWER and TRANSMIT located on the converter front panel. The

SCM9B-A2000 contains two status LEDs labelled PWR and TX located

on the converter rear panel. The status indicators are useful while

troubleshooting suspected system faults and provide visual status

indication during normal system operation.

The SCM9B-A2000 converter LEDs may be disabled internally. Low

power applications, typically powered by batteries or solar panels, can

benefit significantly by disabling the status LEDs. The SCM9B-A2000

power consumption may be reduced by up to 50% with the LEDs

disabled. To disable the status LEDs, remove the SCM9B-A2000 top

cover and locate the 3-pin strip on the PC board directly behind the

LEDs. Lift the jumper bar from the pin strip and place it over the two pins

located closest to 'LEDS OFF' written on the PC board.

The POWER (SCM9B-A1000) and PWR (SCM9B-A2000) LEDs are pilot

lights that indicate adequate power supply voltage is applied to the

converter.

The TRANSMIT (SCM9B-A1000) and TX (SCM9B-A2000) LEDs

illuminate as data is transmitted from a host computer onto the RS-485

communications bus. The illumination intensity will vary and may become

hard to detect as the baud rate increases.

The SCM9B-A1000 FAULT LED will illuminate if excessive current is

being drawn from the internal +24Vdc one amp power supply.

RS-485 TERMINATIONS

The proper termination techniques for any RS-485 system require two

biasing resistors and two termination resistors. There must be one pull-up

resistor between the DATA+ line and +5Vdc on each RS-485 network.

There should also be a pull-down resistor from the DATA- line to ground.

These two resistors are the biasing resistors and are normally positioned

at the HOST end of the cable. The RS-485 standard also requires two

resistors across the data lines for proper termination. Two 220 Ωresistors

should be placed across the data lines DATA+ and DATA-. The resistors

7SCM9B-A1000 & SCM9B-A2000 USERS MANUAL

should be placed at each end of the RS-485 cable. Please refer to Figure

2 for a typical RS-485 system application.

The SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 each contain the biasing and

termination resistors necessary to interface any equipment on an RS-485

network. These resistors are switch-selectable making it easier to

interface the SCM9B-A1000 and SCM9B-A2000 to other pieces of

equipment that may or may not contain the biasing and/or termination

resistors.

Figure 2. RS-485 biasing & termination resistors.

SCM9B-A1000 RS-485 TERMINATIONS

Each SCM9B-A1000 contains internal RS-485 termination and biasing

resistors for proper termination of a RS-485 system. The resistors are

enabled or disabled via two 3-position DIP switches located on the

SCM9B-A1000 rear panel. One three-position switch enables

termination resistors for the RS-485 IN (HOST) data lines and the other

switch enables termination of the RS-485 OUT data lines. The three-

positioned DIP switches are located to the left of each RS-485 connector

on the SCM9B-A1000 backpanel. The three positioned switches are

used to enable or disable a 1KΩpull-up between +5Vdc and the DATA+

line, a 1KΩpull-down resistor between the DATA- line and ground or a

220 Ωtermination resistor between the DATA+ and DATA- lines. Each

SCM9B-A1000 & SCM9B-A2000 USERS MANUAL 8

switch is labelled +1K, -1K and 220. Set the appropriate switch to the

"up" position to enable a resistor.

NOTE: The RS-485 IN +1K and -1K switches should be "up" when the

SCM9B-A1000 is used as a RS-232/RS-485 converter.

SCM9B-A2000 RS-485 TERMINATIONS

Proper biasing and termination resistors in the SCM9B-A2000 may be

enabled by using the internal jumpers contained in the SCM9B-A2000.

Figure 3 shows the location of the jumpers on the SCM9B-A2000 printed

circuit board. The jumpers are shown in the factory setting to enable a

resistor, insert a jumper into the jack position adjacent to the resistor

nomenclature written on the SCM9B-A2000 printed circuit board.

NOTE: The RS-485 IN +1K and -1K jumpers should be installed when

the SCM9B-A2000 is used as a RS-232/RS-485 converter.

FACTORY RS-485 TERMINATION SETTINGS

SCM9B-A1000: 300 BAUD, +1K, -1K on RS-485 IN & RS-485 OUT

connectors enabled, all other switches off.

SCM9B-A2000: 300 BAUD, +1K, -1K, on RS-485 IN & RS-485 OUT

enabled via internal jumpers, all other termination jumpers disabled.
