• B&B Electronics RS-232 to RS-485 converter (model 485OT9L) (S321-DIN controllers using serial communications only) Note: The S321-DIN can use serial communications with the RS-232 to RS-485 converter, or it can communicate via IP using the Digi One® SP converter. This document covers both scenarios.

Installing the AccelePort Serial Adapter The AccelePort board is an expandable serial communication adapter that provides each server with additional connections to serial controllers (S321-DIN controllers excluded). Install the AccelePort board in one of the available PCI slots. After installing the AccelePort board, connect the cable to the board’s interface.
Current Loop Converter The D620, D620-TIU, D600-AP (Version PS 155B or higher), and S320 controllers communicate with the system via the Johnson Controls® proprietary Nodal Protocol B. The current loop converter converts standard serial communication to Nodal Protocol B to allow the P2000 Database Server to communicate with these controllers.
Connecting Serial Controllers to the P2000 Comark Server Running Software Version 3.11 The converter can function in any position, but we recommend mounting it flat against a wall with the hinge to the right. To be UL-compliant, the Current Loop Converter must be located in the same room and within 20 feet (6.1 m) of the Proprietary Station.
