ARR600 User Manual

Serial port 2 can be configured to multiple serial formats (RS-232/422/485). The default is RS-232.

By default, all DIP switches are set to the 0 position (RS-232 mode). DIP switches 2...4 apply only when DIP switch 1 is set to differential mode (RS-485/RS-422).

Description

1

RS-232 or differential

0 = RS-232, 1 =

RS-485 and RS-422

Selects the serial port operation mode

2

DUPLEX

0 = FULL, 1 = HALF

Selects between RS-422 full-duplex (4- wire) and RS-485 half- duplex (2-wire) differential modes

3

BIASING

0 = OFF, 1 = ON

Enables RS-422 biasing on pins 2 and 8

4

TERMINATION

0 = OFF, 1 = ON

Enables RS-422 termination on pins 2 and 8

Note: If biasing and/or termination is required for the RS-485 half-duplex (2-wire) mode, enable RS-422 biasing/termination with DIP switches and manually connect pins 2-7 and 3-8 together at the application port (RS-2).
Warning: Do not connect RS-422 or RS-485 cables to a serial port configured to the RS-232 mode. This could damage the port and the connected equipment.
