The RS232/RS422-RS485 interface converter is now completely installed. The temperature
chambers are now registered in the communication software APT-COM™ with the COM
number that has been assigned to the RS232/RS422-RS485 interface converter they are
altogether connected to. The chamber address required for the unambiguous chamber
identification must be entered by hand individually and only once at the controller of each
temperature chamber or measurement device. For a description see the respective operating
manual of the chamber or device bearing an RS422 interface or RS485 interface.
!
To integrate RS485 chambers into an existing RS422 network, please use the
RS485/RS422 interface converter:
230V version: Art. no. 8012-0589, 115V version: Art. no. 8012-0599
5.1.
Bus termination / RS485 operation
For the connection of RS485 networks, DIP switches 1 and 2 must be set to ON
To connect temperature chambers from BINDER, the recommended operating mode of the
interface converter is termination enabled (BINDER factory setting).
Some controllers, like RD3, MB1, MB2, have an internal termination. When combining different
controllers, communication errors can occur which are indicated by APT-COM™ as "„timeout" or
"CRC error". In this case it can be necessary to disable termination at the interface converter.
To disable termination, set DIP switches 6 and 7 in the interface converter to Off. You can safely
try out the correct setting. No damage of controller or interface converter will occur.
