DICNET

-Adapter DICADAP 3
The DICNET-Adapter serves to connect a PC to a DICNET-network of the company
DEUTSCHMANN AUTOMATION.
It converts both the network protocol as well as the physical RS485-signals, so that a PC with the
WINDOWS-software "WINLOC" will be in the position to communicate with those control units
from DEUTSCHMANN AUTOMATION, existing in the net through a serial interface (COMx).
"WINLOC" is able to run under WIN 3.1x, WIN95/98 and WIN NT. The basic version is available
free of charge.
The DICNET-Adapter is directly connected to a serial interface of the PC through the 9-pin D-
SUB plug.
On the other side of the adapter (25-pin D-SUB plug) the DICNET-Bus and the supply voltage,
which is allowed to range between 10V and 30V, is fed according to the below pin-assignment.
In case the DICNET-Adapter is connected as the last subscriber in the bus, the internal bus-ter-
minating resistor has to be activated by means of bridges of the PIN's with R+ and
DICNET- with R-. (More detailed information to the bus-termination and to the connection to the
DICNET can be found in the instruction manual of the used control unit.)
