Introduction

General

The RS485/422 Starcard is designed to simplify the installation of RS485/422 telemetry systems.

Eight individual outputs are provided.  Each output can be connected to a single dome/receiver or up to 32 domes/receivers 
wired as a daisy chain.  When the domes/receivers are wired as a daisy chain, the last unit’s RS485/422 must be terminated and 
the intermediate units must be un-terminated.  With a single dome connected to each output, the RS485/422 must be terminated.

The Starcard can be used with either 2 wire, half duplex; 4 wire, full duplex or simplex systems.

It has been tested with the Panasonic FS616 multiplexer in 2 and 4 wire modes and with the SX350 video matrix in 2 wire mode.

The Starcard can also be used with simplex RS485/422 links, for example the RS485 output of DM System Sprite and Digital 
Sprite range of multiplexers, Integral Technologies DVX range amongst others.

The Starcard is not protocol independent and will work at up to 19200 baud. It is recommended that when used with extended 
cable distances and/or noisy environments 9600 baud is used to prevent control problems.

A RS232 serial output is provided via a DB9F to aid with diagnostic and trouble shooting.

What is 2 wire and 4 wire

2 wire is used with half duplex (command and response) systems. Generally telemetry uses simplex telemetry, i.e. command 
only. In this case the Starcard will be set to 4 wire. This allows use with both simplex (using 2 wire) or full duplex (using 4 wire) 
systems.  Unless you are using a known half duplex, 2 wire, system then set the Starcard to 4 wire.
