RS485 trouble

ScadaEng - 2010-06-11 18:42:00
I have worked allot with RS232, and other serial protocols, but this is my first RS485 project. It seemed straight forward to me, but now I have a big problem. I am using the max490 chip. I'm doing full duplex, 4 wire. Each of my nodes have the max490 communicating with a 16F877A pic chip. ...RS485 trouble

diagnosing non working rs485 bus

bill13 - 2010-03-18 09:10:00
I am trying to figure out why my prsamp and keypads do not communicate. I have an elan z630 and z100 keeypads. they communicate through an rj45 jack that has two wires labelled rs485+ and rs485-. The key pads have power and the led light up red. It is suppossed to light green. I opened the prea...diagnosing non working rs485 bus

RS485 resistors

Marco Trapanese - 2008-01-11 05:14:00
Hello, I'm talking about the usual RS485 front-end: MAX485, series resistors (if any), pull-up/pull-down and termination resistor. The system I'm working on has two RS485 transceiver at both ends of a twisted-pair cable. Its length is between 250 m and 500 m. I'm wondering how to dime...RS485 resistors

RS485: testing loopback

Ajab - 2007-12-21 03:27:00
I am using a rs232 to wire rs485 converter. I have shorted TX+ with RX + and TX- with RX- for 2-wire configuuration. A 120R termination resistor is connected between TX+ and TX-. I am using it in half-duplex configuration. Is it possible to test loopback. Because in half-duplex either tx or rx ...RS485: testing loopback

RS485 Timeout

2008-01-09 15:35:00
Hi, I am writing an application for a RS485 network. Basically, a client server program. So when server sends command out, the client who receive it send some data back. My question is that how long the timeout should be for the server? How long should the server wait before report a time ou...RS485 Timeout

RS485/422 Isolated Network

Babak - 2008-02-22 10:01:00

i suspect it will take the audience about 5 secs to realize I am a novice but I have an interesting problem and would like to see if experts can make a novice into a functional apprentice via the web. In simple terms: I have a preamp that connects to keypad through a rs485 bus communiction port....rs485 bus on preamp not working

help needed for rs485 !!!!

Although everything is clear regarding the interface what is obscure is the protection needed. I've seen schemes using a 100...help needed for rs485 !!!!

RS485 grounding part 2

mkr5000 - 2008-09-21 10:03:00
I've read some material (a Jan Axelson article), that further confuses me on this matter of proper RS485 grounding for the shield that surrounds our twisted pair of data. Like I say, I have always just grounded just one end to a good EARTH ground, either my transmitter or receiver, depending o...RS485 grounding part 2

replacing a rs485 transceiver chip

bill13 - 2010-03-22 12:13:00
I am going to replace a transceiver chip on my preamp so it talks to my keypad which by the way has the same transceiver in it (max1843). Typically I have no trouble soldering but I am new at surface mount. I am willing to take shot at it. Whats best heat gun and solder paste or solder gun and so...replacing a rs485 transceiver chip

Profibus VP power supply (+5V)

Hi All, I'm designing a Profibus interface. I'm a little confused with the +5V termination power supply (Voltage Plus, or VP). My understanding is that VP is supplied by something on a segment that is used to actively terminate all the receivers, and usually these resistors are in the Profi...Profibus VP power supply (+5V)

MOS optocouplers...

Arie - 2008-04-28 13:55:00
A rather strange effect puzzled us today... We use a MOS optocoupler to switch a RS485 terminator. The production test sometimes failed and indicated the terminator was on while it should be off. When probing the drive to the optocoupler, it sometimes switched on or off, depending on when or w...MOS optocouplers...

Possible Latchup problem with RS485 transciever

logjam - 2008-10-11 16:06:00
I have a project where the input of an RS-485 receiver can have voltage on it before the main power supply comes on. My project has worked well in the past when my cable's bus voltage was 12v and I used some 12v to 5vDC Astrodyne DC-DC converters.
