P#9150_4WSDxxOTB-0812ds - p1/4 B&B ELECTRONICS Models: 4WSD9OTB/4WSD25OTB Isolated Universal Converters RS-232, 4-wire RS-422, 2-wire or 4-wire RS-485 Features High Speed Communications. Supports data rates up to 115.2 kbps. Extended communications. Supports distances up to 4000 ft (1200 m). Removable terminal blocks for easy RS-422/RS-485 connections. Switchable modes. Supports 2-wire RS-485, 4-wire RS-485, and full duplex RS-422. Automatic RS-485 driver control. External software modifications are not required. 2000 VAC isolation. Reliable in harsh electrical conditions. Functional Description Isolates and converts RS-232 signals into RS-422 / RS-485 signals and vice versa. Unlike other converters, external software is not required to control data flow. The RS-232 input is wired for DCE and interfaced through a female DB25 or DB9 connector. RS-422 or RS-485 signals are connected to a removable terminal block. External power is applied to separate removable terminal block. A 10 - 48 VDC power supply (not included) is required.

Common Applications are discussed in Figures 1 through 3. RS-232 connection requires RD, TD, and Signal Ground. The remaining signals are looped back within the converter as shown in Table 2. In half duplex operation, the receiver is enabled when not transmitting (Echo Off). In RS-422 mode, the driver is always enabled. In RS-485 mode, the RS-485 driver is automatically enabled during each space state by the presence of an RS-232 signal. When the RS-232 data is in a mark or idle state, the RS485 driver is disabled and the RS-485 data lines are held in a mark state by the bias provided by a 4.7K resistor. The value of this resistor may need to be changed depending on the termination used. Refer to B&B Electronics' RS-422/RS-485 Application Note for detailed information concerning RS-422 and RS-485 networks. This document is available for download at http://www.bb-elec.com/tech_articles. The loopback test mode switch is used with hyper terminal to verify the operation of the converter. Additional troubleshooting guidance is available at http://www.bbelec.com/technical_library.asp.

Devices communicate one at a time. Units are normally in receive mode. When data is requested, the addressed device waits one delay time before responding. After transmitting, the device reverts to receive. Switch settings are: Switch 1: RS485, Switch 2: Echo Off, Switches 3 and 4 to 2-Wire. PRODUCT INFORMATION Figure 2: 4-Wire RS-485 Used for 4-Wire Master/Slave circuits. Each device is polled, allowing faster response time. Addressed devices can receive while responding to a request. When used as a Master in a single master system, Switch 1 may be set RS-422 since it is the only transmitter. When used as a slave, the RS-232 device must provide addressability. Select RS-485 mode in this situation. Biasing is provided by the end-of-line slave. Switch settings for this mode are : Switch 1: RS-485, Switch 2: Echo On, Switches 3 and 4: 4-wire. www.bb-elec.com orders@bb-elec.com support@bb-elec.com International Office: 707 Dayton Road PO Box 1040 Ottawa, IL 61350 USA 815-433-5100 Fax 433-5104 European Office: Westlink Commercial Park Oranmore Co.
