RS485 Serial Communication

⚠ If the RS485 network exceeds 100 metres in length or baud-rate over 9600 are used, two terminating resistors are needed at the ends of the network. Two 120 ohm resistors must be connected between the “+” and “–” terminals of the line, on the terminal strip of the furthest instruments. Should there be different instruments or converters, refer to the specific manuals to determine whether it is necessary to connect the above-mentioned resistors.

Direct Connection Between RS485 and RS232 Without Converter

Since a two-wire RS485 output may be used directly on an RS-232 input of a PC or remote display, it is possible to implement instrument connection to an RS-232 port in the following manner:

INSTRUMENT RS232
RS485 – RXD
RS485 + GND

⚠ This type of connection allows A SINGLE instrument to be used in a ONE WAY mode.

Current Output and Voltage Output Connection

All the instrument’s analog outputs are the ACTIVE and SINGLE ENDED type, therefore they can be connected only to PASSIVE receiver devices. The minimum load allowed for voltage outputs is 2 kohm, the maximum load allowed for current outputs is 400 ohm.

– It is possible to supply up to four 350 ohm load cells, or eight 700 ohm load cells.

– For 6-wire load cells make a jumper between EX+ and REF- and between EX+ and REF+

Communication Interface Connectors (Bus In – Bus Out)

The BUS IN and BUS OUT connectors are specific for the different communication interfaces.

Serial Interface and Analog Output

Instrument Model RS485 – RS485ANA
Baud Rate (kb/s) 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200
Current Output 0÷10 V; 0÷5 V (min 2 kohm)
Voltage Output 0÷10 V; 0÷5 V (min 2 kohm)

⚠ Current output and voltage output are available only for RS485ANA and cannot be used simultaneously.

RS485 Serial Communication

⚠ If the RS485 network exceeds 100 metres in length or baud-rate over 9600 are used, two terminating resistors are needed at the ends of the network. Two 120 ohm resistors must be connected between the “+” and “–” terminals of the line, on the terminal strip of the furthest instruments. Should there be different instruments or converters, refer to the specific manuals to determine whether it is necessary to connect the above-mentioned resistors.

Direct Connection Between RS485 and RS232 Without Converter

Since a two-wire RS485 output may be used directly on an RS-232 input of a PC or remote display, it is possible to implement instrument connection to an RS-232 port in the following manner:

INSTRUMENT RS232
RS485 – RXD
RS485 + GND

⚠ This type of connection allows A SINGLE instrument to be used in a ONE WAY mode.

Current Output and Voltage Output Connection

All the instrument’s analog outputs are the ACTIVE and SINGLE ENDED type, therefore they can be connected only to PASSIVE receiver devices. The minimum load allowed for voltage outputs is 2 kohm, the maximum load allowed for current outputs is 400 ohm.

CANopen

Instrument Model CANopen
