Serial to RS485 Adapter: (P348)
The Serial to RS485 adapter is designed to buffer the logic level serial port
connections on Trio Euro205, MC202 and MC216 Motion Coordinators. It con-
tains an opto-isolated RS485 full-duplex buffer. This gives 4 wire RS485 output.
A direction control input is available on the logic level side of the converter.
This allows the Motion Coordinator to enable the output transmitter only
when required. If the transmit enable input is left unconnected the transmit-
ter will be permanently enabled.
Note
Two different adaptors are available:
P348 for the Euro 205 and MC216, and P349 for the MC202.
3 pins on the adapter can optionally be used to “Pass-through” the RS232
serial channel which is present on the same connector on the Motion Coordi-
nator as the logic level serial port.
