CS-1520 ISOLATED RS-232 TO RS-422/485 CONVERTER


INTRODUCTION
Most industrial computer system come as standard with RS-232 serial ports. Though
widely accepted, RS 232 has limited transmission speed, range and networking
capabilities. The RS-422 and RS-485 standards overcome these limitations by using
different voltage lines for data and control signals. The CS-1520 isolated converter
lets you take advantage of RS-422 and RS-485 on systems originally equipped with RS232.
It transparently converts Rs-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS-485
signals. You don't need to change your PC's hardware or your software. The CS-1520
lets you easily build an industrial grade. Long distance communication system with
standard PC hardware.
Intelligent RS-485 control
The RS-485 Standard supports had duplex communication. This means that just two wires
are needed to both and receive data. Handshaking signals (such as RTS, Request to
send) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O
circuit in the CS-1520 automatically senses the direction of the data flow and
switches the transmission direction. No handshaking signals are necessary-you can
build an RS-485 network with just two wires. This RS-485 control is completely
transparent to the user. Software written for half-duplex RS-232 works without
modification.
Isolation
The CS-1520s opto-isolators provide 500 VDC of isolation to protect the host computer
from ground loops and destructive voltage spikes on the RS-485 data lines.
Surge protection (RS-485 only)
CS-1520 offer internal surge protection on the data lines. Internal high speed
transient suppressors on each data line protect the modules from dangerous voltage
levels or spikes.
Tough Industrial design
You can power CS-1520 with any unregulated power source between +10 VDC and + 30 VDC .
Their industrial-grade powder painted MS Sheet metal enclosures can be mounted on
DIN-rail, in a panel. You make signal connections through plug-in screw terminal
blocks, guaranteeing easy installation, maintenance and modification.

INSTALLATION
Initial inspection
We have inspected the CS-1520 modules both mechanically and electrically before we
shipped them. They should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect order on
receipt.
As you unpack the modules check them for signs of shipping damage (damaged box ,
scratches, dents, etc.)If it is damaged or fails to meet our specifications, notify
our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also call the
carrier immediately and retain the shipping carton and packing material for
inspection by him. we will make arrangements then to repair or replace the material.
Switch and jumper settings
Switch settings
DIP switches in the CS converter set the data format (number of bits) and baud rate
for the network. Your program and PCs serial port should match the settings of the
connector and repeater modules.
1. Data Format: (Sw1-6,7)
Data can be 9, 10, 11 or 12 bits. Table1 gives required switch settings in the
module for necessary set up. The factory default is 10 bits, which is one start
bit, eight data bits, no parity bit and one stop bit. This combination is widely
known as and referred to as N, 8, 1.

2. Baud rate:(Sw1-1,2,3)
The options range from 1200 BPS to 115200 BPS. The factory default is 9600 BPS. Be
aware that when you change the baud rate, you have to change the baud rate for all
the connected modules accordingly.

Table 3: comm. mode settings
Sw1-4 sets RTS mode, which can be either PC RTS mode or Self RTS mode. Refer to
the Table-4.You need to connect PC RTS signal to CS-1520, if you use PC RTS mode.
You have to use RTS of PC to control data flow direction on RS-485 network. With
this setting, it is possible to achieve 115.2 KBPS baud rate in RS-485 network. If
self-RTS mode is selected it is not necessary to use RTS signal from PC for data
direction control in RS-485 network. For RS-422 network, which is already full
duplex by nature, this setting is redundant and it has no effect on data flow. It
is possible to achieve baud rate of 115.2 KBPS in RS-422 configuration.

Power supply
For the ease of use in industrial environment, the modules are designed to accept
industry standard +24 V DC unregulated power. Operation is guaranteed when using any
power supply between +10V and +30V DC. Power ripples must be limited to 5 V (or 0.5
volt) peak to peak while the voltages in all cases must be maintained between +10 and
+30 volts dc. Power supply specifications are referenced at module connector. The
power cables should be selected according to the number of modules connected and the
length of the power lines. When using a network with long cables, we advice the use
of thicker wire to limit line voltage drop. In addition to serious voltage drops,
long voltage lines can be the cause for interference with communication lines
We advise that the following standard colours (as indicated on the modules) be used
for power lines.

Communication network wiring


We recommend that shielded /twisted pair cables that comply with the EIA RS-485
standard be used with the CS network to reduce interference. Only one set of twistedpair cable is required to transmit both Data and RTS signals. We advice that the
following standard colours (as indicated on the modules) be used for the
communication lines:

(Y) Yellow
(G) Green

Basic Configuration Hook-Up


Before placing a module in an existing network, the module should be properly
configured. The two following diagrams show typical layouts for both modules.
