Terminating resistors
RS485 lines must be terminated at both ends with
120-Ω resistors in order to prevent reflections. These
resistors are fitted on the interface converter and the
PCPU-2. They must be switched on using DIP swit-
ches. This is normally carried out on the interface con-
verter of the control unit and on the PCPU-2 of the
chromatograph which is farthest away.
Participant number of
chromatograph in network
There are two rotary switches STATION x1
and STATION x16 on the PCPU-2. The chro-
matograph number in the network is set on
these switches. Numbers from 1 to 15 are
valid.
Always set the switch STATION x16 to 0, and
set a number from 1 to 15 on the switch STA-
TION x1 . The letters A, B, C, D, E, F corre-
spond to the numbers 10 to 15.
Local operation
The participant number in the network is also
effective if you wish to operate locally with
the laptop. Only exception: if a ChromLAN
network is not operated on the interface
SER. 2, the driver UNIDRV2 is loaded there.
The chromatograph then always has the par-
ticipant number 1 at the interface SER. 2.
CAUTION:
A participant number of 00 must not be set!
The PCPU-2 is in service mode if both switches
are set to 0.
Loadable interface drivers
There are loadable drivers for all four interfaces. These
are loaded into the PCPU-2 when the control software
is programmed. Refer to The software: Installation of
software.
