RS-232/485 CONVERTER 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The RS-232/485 Converter (IC620A) is an ultra- miniature interface converter. Requiring no AC power or batteries for operation, the Converter supports asynchronous communication up to 115.2 Kbps over one or two unconditioned twisted pairs. Distances up to 15 miles (24 km) are attainable at lower data rates (1.2 Kbps, 19 AWG twisted pair). The Converter can handle up to 31 terminal drops in a multipoint polling environment. For RS-485 appl

CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration The Converter is configured using two internal 4-position DIP switches. This section shows how to access the DIP switches, provides an overview of the factory-default settings, and describes all possible configuration options. For instructions on how to configure the Converter for specific applications, see Section 3.2. 3.1 Accessing the DIP Switches The Converter has a main PC board and a daughter- board. DIP switch S1 is located on the underside of t

CHAPTER 3: Configuration S1-1: Receive Impedance (Termination) The setting for switch S1-1 selects the impedance of the input receiver. You may select either a “low” impedance of 120 ohms or a “high” impedance of 16 K ohms. By selecting the proper impedance for each drop, you can have up to 50 receivers in one application. S1-1 Setting On Low (120 ohms) Off High (16 K ohms typical) S1-2 and S1-3: 2-wire/4-wire Modes Switches S1-2 and S1-3 are set together to determine whether the Converter is i
