Transcript Arctic RS-485 / RS-422 RS

Arctic RS-485 / RS-422
RS- 485
• Also known as RS-485 Half Duplex, RS-485 2-wire
• same pair is used to transmit and receive data
• only one device can transmit on the bus simultaneously
because the bus is shared
• in theory there could be multiple masters and also
slaves could speak with each other but typically used on
”single master – multiple slaves” setup communicating
with request-reply type of protocol

RS- 422
• Also known as RS-485 Full Duplex, RS-485 4-wire
• separate pairs for transmit and reception
• only one device can command the bus, slaves can’t speak
with each other
• device can transmit and receive simultaneously (full duplex)
• typically used on ”single master – multiple slaves” setup

Voltages
• RS-485 and RS-422 use differential (balanced)
signalling providing good noise immunity
• Generally non-inverting line is called positive, +, A or Y
• Generally inverting line is called negative,-,B or Z
• If voltage between A-B (Vdiff) is >200mV receiver
detects state ”1” and if A-B is below -200mV receiver
detects state ”0”
• Usually transmitters drive >1,5V for state ”1” and <-1.5V
for state ”0” leaving good margin to 200 mV trigger level

Vdiff = A-B

Loading
• Each device causes capacitive and resistive load to bus
• If the load is too big the minimum ”200 mV” signal
difference may not be reached or the signal waveform
becomes too disturbed to detect the start bit
• Also termination and biasing loads the bus
• Also the length of the cable and serial speed affects the
performance
• Because the implementation between devices vary a lot
(e.g. some has internal termination) the only sure way is
to measure the differential waveform (at both ends of the
bus) with oscilloscope
• Note that the RS-485 has both ”transmit” and ”receive”
phases, both have to exceed the 200 mV limit
Grounding
• Allthrough data transmission is balanced grounding may
be required if the distance between devices is long
and/or they don’t othervise share the common ground
• The most common reason for RS-485/422 circuit
damages is the excessive potential difference between
the devices
• When separate grounding is required use 100R resistor
to connect each remote device to common ground wire.
The resistor should be rated for at least 0.5 Watts.

Termination
• Usually short lines do not require termination
• Usually small data rates (<115200 bps) do not require
termination
• The purpose of the termination is to cancel/attenuate the
reflections on the bus  the value of termination resistor
should match the characteristic impedance (Z0) of the
cable
• Typically twisted-pair type of cables have Z0 100-120 
(e.g. CAT-5 has 100 )
• Termination is most effective on the receiving end
• Note that the termination causes plenty of load to the
bus, increases idle state power consumption and should
be used only when required
• ”AC termination” does not increase idle state power
consumption but is not as effective as pure resistive
termination

Arctic Termination
• Arctic internal termination is ”AC termination”
• The termination is available between RS2 pins 2 and 8
(RS-422 receive pins) when DIP switch 4 is ”ON”
• If termination is required on RS-485 (2-wire) mode pins
2-7 and 3-8 must be connected manually

Biasing
• When the tranmitters are not active the line may float
causing e.g. detection of false start bits
• The purpose of biasing is to tie the bus to known state
when idle
• Most modern RS-422/485 receivers have internal ”failsafe” biasing
• However if termination is used the internal ”fail-safe”
biasing may not be enough and external biasing is
required
• Placement of biasing is not that sensitive as termination

> 200 mV when idle

Arctic Biasing
• Arctic biasing uses 3.3V voltage and 560R resistors
• The biasing is available between RS2 pins 2 and 8
(RS-422 RX pins) when DIP switchs 1 and 3 are ”ON”
• If biasing is required on RS-485 (2-wire) mode pins 27 and 3-8 must be connected manually

Set DIP switches 1 and 2 ”ON” which causes RS2 to be on RS-485
(Half-Duplex) mode
If biasing is required set DIP switch 3 to ”ON” and manually connect
Arctic RS2 pins 2-7 and 3-8 together
If termination is required set DIP switch 4 to ”ON” and manually
connect Arctic RS2 pins 2-7 and 3-8 together
Connect Arctic pin 7 (TXD/RXD+) to other device non-inverting pin
(usually marked positive,TXD/RXD+,+,A or Y)
Connect Arctic pin 3 (TXD/RXD-) to other device inverting pin (usually
marked negative,TXD/RXD-,-,B or Z)
Connect Arctic pin 5 (GND) to common ground wire (with 100R
resistor in series if the distanse is long and devices do not othervise
share common ground)
NOTE! When using RS-422/RS-485 Arctic RS2 handshaking must be
set to ”none” in application configuration
