- e.bloxx A6-2CF connected to e.gate
* ... If e.bloxx A6-2CF are used together with an e.gate, which is used to collect data of all connected e.bloxx modules
and processes them for fast transmission via the further network, a bus termination must be connected to the last
e.bloxx in each bus line.
Bus Connection to PC
The bus interface of the e.bloxx A6-2CF is based on the RS 485 standard. Since most hosts are "only" equipped with
RS 232 interfaces, an interface converter or a plug-in board with RS 485 drivers is required for conversion purposes.
Gantner Instruments Test & Measurement GMBH offers a compact interface converter, called ISK 200, with an inte-
grated power supply and automatic baud rate detection. The power supply, bus connection and a separate 24 VDC-
output are DC-isolated. Therefore, the interface converter ISK 200 is also applicable as a power supply for remote
applications. Additionally, the interface converter ISK 200 features the option of connecting the required bus termination
via a switch. The converter is designed to be used as a desk device.
Another module IRK 100 from Gantner Instruments Test & Measurement GMBH is available which may be used as an
RS 485 repeater or RS 485/RS 232 converter. The baud rate can be adjusted at the IRK 100. Also, for this module the
required bus termination may be connected with a switch. The Repeater/ Converter IRK 100 has a snap-on mounting
mechanism for the installation on standard profile rails (DIN rail) 35 mm according to DIN EN 50022.
