To communicate through the D90
GE RS232/RS485 converter box is required. This device (catalog number F485) connects to
the computer using a straight-through serial cable. A shielded twisted-pair (20, 22, or 24
AWG) connects the F485 converter to the D90
terminals (+, –, GND) are connected to the D90
terminals. The line should be terminated with a 120 Ω, 1 nF R-C network.
Communications via Ethernet requires a connection to an Ethernet network using a
standard copper or fiber cable. The Ethernet port can also connect directly to a PC using a
cross-over cable.
To communicate via the faceplate USB port, a standard USB serial cable is used.
