INTRODUCTION (INDUSTRIAL RS485 TO TTL
CONVERTER)
|
|
|
 |
|
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 |
|
 |
|
- 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.
The FREE version (no time
limitation) can be downloaded from
