Adding Shimaden controllers to an existing RS422 2100-A16 MicroScan. |
To add Shimaden Controllers to an existing RS422 system, you must make the system into a RS485 system as follows:
1. Change the links on the 2100-A16 for RS485 operation (links in L3 and L4 positions).
2. Changes the switches on the 2100-IS for RS485 operation (S2 1,2,3,4 ON).
3. Wire the shimaden controllers with three wires as follows:
70 -
71 +
74 SG
Note: all three wires must be connected - terminal 74 may not be connected to the A16.
4. Set the shimaden controllers for 8 bits, no parity, 9600 baud, and choose a machine number.
5. Use of older IN2000-IS converters for RS485 is not recommended.
