Serial RS485 Cable Network |
|
PC Side (Client serial port)
Components
A 10-ft. RS232 interconnect cable (A9)
and RS232/RS485 Converter Box III with AC adapter makes communication possible between a PC and
network of LED signs.
The Converter Box III converts standard RS232 from a PC’s serial port into RS485 signals for use in networks of signs. Use
this setup when multiple signs need to be connected to a serial RS485 network.
This network requires the installation of RS485 wiring. Up to 255 signs
can be connected and individually addressed in this type of network
using AlphaNET
Software.
Display Side
Components
Each LED
Sign requires a Modular Network Adapter with 1-ft. RS485 data cable
(RJ11).
RS485 Serial data cable (22AWG shielded, single twisted-pair, with drain wire)
connects the units up to 8,000 ft.
