Model CAT100
4-2 PROTOCOLS
The analyzer is supplied from the factory with
either PCB SIF232 or SIF485 connected to
PCB BSI 10. This can be changed in the field.
The parameter 232c is also set to 0=NO or
1=YES.
a.
RS 232
This interface required a shielded cable
having at least three internal conductors.
b. RS
485
Configuration for either 2-wire or 4-wire
operation is selected from LB1 on PCB
SIP485. Connect pins 1-2 for 2-wire op-
eration or pins 2-3 for 4-wire operation.
For network operation with several ana-
lyzers, jumper P2 must be installed at
each end of the network. Analyzers in-
between must have P2 removed.
In contrast to RS232C operation, simulta-
neous transmission and reception is not
implemented. Although there would be no
damage to the electronics, simultaneous
transmission and reception could lead to
destruction of data. In this mode, the ana-
lyzer acts passively; i.e., it keeps its
transceiver set for reception whenever it
is not transmitting. Since the time period
for transmission and reception are estab-
lished by protocols, data collisions are
prevented.
