Network Interface Modules with USB Interface

INTRODUCTION

The USB22 Series of ARCNET Network Interface Modules (NIMs)
links Universal Serial Bus (USB) computers with the ARCNET Local
Area Network (LAN). USB has become popular for connecting desktop
or laptop computers to peripherals because of its very high-speed interface
(up to 480 Mbps) and its convenience of a powered exterior interface with
no need to open the computer.
Each USB22 includes a COM20022 ARCNET controller that can
support data rates up to 10 Mbps and a microcontroller to transfer data
between the ARCNET and either USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices. The NIM
is powered from a computer USB port or a USB hub. Models exist for the
most popular ARCNET physical layers. A USB cable is also provided.
NOTE: The USB22 Series of NIMs are for users who are willing and
able to modify their application-layer software. Some OEM companies
have modified their software to work with the USB22. If your
application is not provided by one of these companies, you cannot use
the USB22 — unless you rewrite your application software or hire a
Software engineer to do it. (See the SOFTWARE section of this
installation guide for information about the Software Developer Kit.)
If USB22-compliant software is provided by your OEM and you
encounter installation difficulties, you should contact your OEM for
resolution of your issue — because Contemporary Controls has no
knowledge of the OEM software.

  • Page 6 -TB5 Twisted-pair Bus The -TB5 transceiver accommodates twisted-pair cabling via a pair of RJ-45 jacks which allow the unit to be daisy-chained at any location on the bus segment. Usually IBM type 3 unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP) is used, but shielded cable (STP) can also be used to provide continuous shielding between devices.
  • Page 7 -4000 AC-Coupled EIA-485 The AC-coupled EIA-485 transceiver offers advantages over the DC-coupled version. No bias adjustments are needed and wiring polarity is unimportant. Much higher common mode voltage levels can be achieved with AC coupling because the transformer coupling has a breakdown rating of 1000 VDC.
