Connecting the Serial RS-485
The model DC-B is equipped with an RS-485 serial interface allowing the spark
tester to receive commands and exchange information with a PLC or computer.
Programming and control of voltage settings, which can be done manually on the
DC-B display, can also be done through this interface. Control display buttons can
be disabled when the serial
interface is in use. See the section entitled “
” for connection and communication information.
The “RS
-
485” interface connector is located on the rear of the
DC-B directly under
the “Display” connector
.
Connecting to the Analog Interface (Optional)
The model DC-B can be purchased with an optional analog interface. (Model DC-
BA) The analog interface allows the DC-B to be controlled by a PLC with standard
analog and Digital I/O. The connecting cable for this interface is not supplied by
Clinton Instrument Company. The cable composition is normally dictated by the
PLC, but ordinarily 22 gauge conductors (individually shielded or shielded pairs)
are required. The maximum length of the cable is also determined by the
equipment the DC-B is being connected to. However, it is recommended that the
cable length not exceed 10 meters.
See the section entitled “
” for the details regarding t
his
interface.
Installing the CompactCom
™
Module (Optional)
The model DC-B can be purchased with an optional Fieldbus Communications
Interface. (Model DC-BX) This interface will allow the installation of several
fieldbus options. (DeviceNet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Profinet)
To enable the Fieldbus Interface the proper CompactCom™ module
will need to
be installed into the DC-BX spark tester.
•
First remove the Anybus Slot Cover from the rear of the spark tester.

Remove the CompactCom
™
module from the packaging.
•
Slide the CompactCom
™
module into the open slot on the rear of the
