    ADAM-5510/P31 and Paradym- This message appears when it is impossible to build the communica- tion link between the ADAM-5510/P31 and Paradym-31. It may be due to a wrong Com Port setting, improper ID and baud rate configura- tions, or an incorrect cable connection.

  • Page 174 • Parallel connected nodes, true multi-drop ADAM-5510/P31 systems are fully isolated and use just a single set of twisted pair wires to send and receive! Since the nodes are connected in parallel they can be freely disconnected from the host without affecting the functioning of the remaining nodes.
  • Page 175 Thus all connections are parallel and connecting or discon- necting of a node doesn’t affect the network as a whole. Since ADAM-5510/P31 systems use the RS-485 standard, they can connect and communicate with the host PC. The basic layouts that can be used for an RS-485 network are: The last module of a segment is a repeater.
  • Page 176 In this scheme the repeaters are connected to drop-down cables from the main wires of the first segment. A tree structure is the result. This scheme is not recommended when using long lines since it will cause a serious amount of signal distortion due to signal reflections in several line-endings.
  • Page 177 This is a combination of daisychain and hierarchical structure.
  • Page 178 Each discontinuity in impedance causes reflections and distortion. When a impedance discontinuity occurs in the transmission line the immediate effect is signal reflection. This will lead to signal distortion. Specially at line ends this mismatch causes problems. To eliminate this discontinuity, terminate the line with a resistor.
  • Page 179 Because each input is biased to 2.4 V, the nominal common mode voltage of balanced RS-485 systems, the 18 kΩ on the input can be taken as being in series across the input of each individual receiver. If thirty of these receivers are put closely together at the end of the transmission line, they will tend to react as thirty 36kΩ...
  • Page 180 Thus as already stated above the line termination resistor R will normally equal the characteristic impedance Z The star connection causes a multitude of these discontinuities since there are several transmission lines and is therefore not recommend. Note: The recommend method wiring method, that causes a minimum amount of reflection, is daisy chaining where all receivers tapped from one transmission line needs only to be terminated twice.
