INTRODUCTION (INDUSTRIAL RS485 TO TTL CONVERTER)

RS485 to TTL Converter / Adapter

The TTL-485-2 is an industrial grade (wide temperature range with surge & static protection) bi-directional RS485 to TTL converter, which can be used to convert RS485 to 5VDC TTL-compatible levels and vice versa. It is also ideal for extending the TTL distance.

This industrial-grade RS485 to TTL converter operates within a wide temperature range (-40ºF to 185ºF / -40ºC to 85ºC), and features 600W surge protection and 15kV static protection.

The unit is powered from an external 5VDC power supply. It supports data direction auto-turnaround, and therefore, no flow control is required.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR RS485 TTL 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
RS485 to TTL converter - loopback test
  • Connect two numbers of TTL-485-2 to your PC’s RS-485 COM ports and short TX and RX (TX to RX and RX to TX) on the TTL terminal blocks (as shown above).
  • Run two instances of the 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 one COM port. You should receive an echo of the command/string sent ("CommFront") on the other COM port. 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.

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.
