The TTL-485_422-2 is a compact,
rugged,
industrial-grade,
bi-directional
RS485 / RS422 to TTL converter,
which can be used to convert RS485 or RS422 to 5VDC
TTL-compatible levels and vice versa. It is also ideal for
extending the full duplex unbalanced TTL distance.
This
industrial RS485 RS422 to TTL converter
operates within a temperature range of -40ºF to 185ºF (-40ºC to 85ºC),
features 600W surge protection and 15kV static protection,
and comes with
a built-in 120-Ohm terminator for system reliability and easy
installation.
The unit is powered
from an external 5VDC regulated power supply
(included);
it supports data direction auto-turnaround,
which automatically enables the RS485 transceiver when data
is present on the TTL side. Therefore, it requires no
software drivers or flow control, making the unit a highly reliable and truly plug-and-play device.
The built-in 120-Ohm
terminator can be turned ON or OFF through a simple jumper
setting, thus making the unit an ideal solution for all
types of
installations.
The unit is backed by our 30-day risk-free money-back
guarantee and 5-year replacement warranty.
A separate external 5VDC regulated power supply is included
in the package.
Baud
rates: 300 to 115.2K Baud.

JUMPER SETTINGS FOR RS485 /
RS422 MODES
|
|
|
1) RS485 Mode |

- Turn ON Jumper 1, 2 & 3 for RS-485 mode;
- Important: Turn ON J4 (120 Ohm End-Of-Line
Terminator) at both ends of the RS-485 bus when the data
rate is over 19.2kbps or the distance exceeds 660 feet
(200m). |
| |
|
2) RS422 Mode |
 |
- Turn OFF Jumper 1, 2 & 3 for
RS-422 mode;
- Important: Turn ON J4 (120 Ohm End-Of-Line
Terminator) at both ends of the RS-422 bus when the data
rate is over 19.2kbps or the distance is over 660ft (200m). |

[+] TROUBLESHOOTING
RS485 RS422 TO TTL 5V
CONVERTER
1) External 5VDC power input

CAUTION: Be sure that the
DC power applied to pin +5V and GND is within the range
of +4.75V to +5.25V (5V ±5%). Excessive input voltage or
incorrect polarity connection could damage the
converter.
2) Loopback Test

- Connect your PC's
RS485 or RS422 port to the RS485/422 side and short TX
and RX on the TTL side (as shown above).
- Run
232Analyzer FREE
version software on your computer.
- Select "ASCII" for
both the Send and Receive data formats. Then send
command and/or string such as "CommFront" from the
232Analyzer software. You should receive an echo of the
command/string sent ("CommFront"). By performing a
simple loopback test like this, you can test both the
transmitter and receiver of the converter. This is very
helpful when you are in doubt about the performance of
your converter.

commands from 232Analyzer software.
232Analyzer is an advanced RS232 Serial Protocol Analyzer
software
that allows you to control, monitor and analyze serial port
(RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / TTL, etc.) activities.
Not just the data,
it also allows you to monitor or change RS-232's line
states: RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI.
