How to choice the right communication Speed
The parasitic capacity of the transmission line increases as the line length increases, thereby limiting the
maximum bus speed. An empirical law provides the following values:
Speed (bps)
Max Length (mt)
Note:
115200
85
A good rule is to respect a minimum distance of 1 meter
between multiple devices connected in the RS-485Bus.

Communicate with the Network
With The E9T control unit placed on the RS-485 ModBus network, the end-user can choice to work with Turbo
“
PC-Panel
Tribo”
dedicated software or develop its own application using ModBus device registers. In the
Network, the E9T is to consider as slave devices.
PC-Panel Tribo Software
Turbo has designed a PC software, named “PC
-Panel Tribo
” for remote management of the E
9T functionalities.
Developed for Windows platforms (WinXP, Win7/8,
Win10), the “PC
-Panel Tribo
” software provide the
user can interact with the device in order to configure
parameters, read device status, and monitor the
control unit.
Thanks to a well-defined interface, the user can
navigate through the tabs to monitor all the
parameters and also the real-time values. The user
interface is customizable with logo, languages and
displayed information in order to meet all the user
requirements.
Please refers to Turbo Sales dept. to purchase and obtain the
PC-Panel software package and license.
An USB to RS-485 Serial converter cable is sold
with “PC
-Panel
Tribo”
software package. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect
devices with a RS-485 interface to USB 2.0, supporting data transfer
rate up to 3Mbaud.
The USB-RS-485 drivers, available free from
which are used to make the FT232R in the cable appear as a virtual
COM port (VCP). This then allows the user to communicate with the
USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port. Another FTDI USB
driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to
directly access the FT232R on the cable though a DLL.
The RS-485 serial converter is made of some colored cables where:
