6 Small Changes That Could have A huge effect On your Rs485 Cable

Because all of the serial I/O routines on the PDQ Board are revectorable, it is very easy to change the serial port in use without modifying any high level code. In this case, cable connections may be made to Serial 2 at pins 4 and 10 of the PDQ Board’s 10-pin Serial Header, or pins 5 and 6 of the Docking Panel’s 10-pin right-angle Serial Header. In that case, do not install jumper caps at the jumpers labeled "Term" or "RTerm". Resistive termination - If the PDQ Board is at the end of the RS485 cable you can terminate the cable by installing jumper caps at both jumper locations, "Term" and "RTerm". Therefore for RS485 communications no crossover cable is used. The remaining inactive slaves may actively receive, or listen to, data on the communications line, but only one slave at a time can transmit a message. The master and slave could even exchange ascii QED-Forth operating system commands. Slave devices use the master in/slave out pin, MISO, for transmitting, and the master out/slave in pin, MOSI, for receiving data. A single master can broadcast commands to all the slaves, and can direct commands to an individual slave using its unique address.

A slave device may only speak when it is spoken to. If your application requires communicating with a device that expects to receive a parity bit, the generation of a parity bit and selection of even or odd parity, and whether there are seven or eight data bits in each byte, is performed by setting or clearing bits in the configuration registers SCI0CR1 for Serial1 and SCI1CR1 for Serial2. Question:I can't connect to the device at address 192.168.0.7 to change the address and connect to my network. The RS485 data transmission standard requires that each network node be linked via a single transmission line terminated at each end in its characteristic impedance. This allows for basic error detection, in that if noise on the transmission line causes one bit to be received incorrectly, either received as a '0' when transmitted as a '1' or vice-versa, the error would be detected due to the count of '1' bits in the byte being odd when it is expected to be even, or vice-versa depending on the parity checking settings. If it doesn’t, confirm that the terminal’s baud rate is correct by selecting the Comm item in the Settings menu of the Mosaic Terminal program, and click on 115200 baud.

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. By default, the RS485 connections are not brought out to the Docking Panel’s DB-9 Serial1 Connector, although custom placement of zero-ohm surface-mount resistors on the Docking Panel can route the RS485 signals to the DB-9. By default, the RS485 connections are not brought out to the Docking Panel’s DB-9 Serial1 Connector. The advantage of using Serial1 for RS485 is that the Serial1 RS485 signals are also available on the Docking Panel, while the Serial2 RS485 signals are available only on the PDQ Board’s Serial Communications Header. The serial interface is asynchronous, meaning that there is no clock transmitted along with the data. The USE.SERIAL2 command means that the operating system’s terminal interface now communicates via Serial2. Once the project is open, click Build→ Build, and after the compilation is done, enter the Mosaic Terminal by clicking Tools→ Mosaic Terminal and use the Send File menu item to send GETSTART.DLF to the PDQ Board.

They should generally not be needed, except if you use long cables, multiple RS485 devices, and resistive termination. A jumper labeled "2 485En" (J7) enables RS485 operation on the Serial2 port if the jumper cap is installed, and configures Serial2 for RS232 operation if the jumper cap is not installed. A jumper labeled "1 485En" (J4) enables RS485 operation on the Serial1 port if the jumper cap is installed, and configures Serial1 for RS232 operation if the jumper cap is not installed. The primary and secondary serial communications ports are accessible through the QScreen's 10 pin, dual row Serial Header (H5) which is typically not installed, the 24 pin, dual row Field Header (H3), and through the individual DB-9 Serial 1 and Serial 2 connectors. When PE is set (equal to one), the most-significant bit in each byte transmitted will be a parity bit that is either set or cleared by the serial port automatically in order to achieve even or odd parity.
