5.4- RS232 and RS485 serial ports of MCP 4
MCP 4 provides both RS232 (COM1, on the front panel) and RS485 serial ports (COM2 and COM4,
terminals 1-2-3 and 7-8-9). These ports are
electrically insulated from the bus
by means of some internal
opto-couplers and a dc/dc converter (no additional external power supply is required).
However, RS232 and RS485 ports
are not insulated each one to the other
.
WARNING:
as for all RS485 networks,
radial connections must be avoided
; in addition, RS485 line
must
be loaded, both at the beginning and at the end, by a 120 Ohm 1/2W resistor
between terminals A and
B. The maximum number of device that can be connected on RS485 line must be limited to 32.
5.5- WEBS communication port
MCP 4 features a special communication port (COM3, under the terminal cover on the bottom left side, see
following figure) for the connection to WEBS module, providing both Web Server functions and bridge
function to interface MCP 4 to a LAN network (Ethernet). For more details refer to the technical sheet of
WEBS module.
