Function B+, RS485 A-, RS485 The RS-485 interface of GT200-BM-2RS is a standard one, and the RS-485 characteristics of the product are shown as follows: 1. The basic characteristics of RS-485 transmission technology ①Network topology: Linear bus, there are active bus terminal resistors at both sides.
Page 11
When RS485 communicates under the point-to-multipoint mode, in order to prevent the reflection and interference of the signal, it requires connecting a terminal resistor in the farthest two ends of the each line; the parameter is 120Ω 1/2W. There are no parallel terminal resistors at the serial port side of GT200-BM-2RS. WWW.SSTCOMM.COM...
SST-BM-CFG is a product based on Windows platform, and used to configure parameters of GT200-BM-2RS. Please make sure the user's computer and the GT200-BM-2RS which need to be configured are in the same network before you run the software. Double click the icon to access the main interface:...
Connect with the BACnet IP master; 3.3 Search Equipment Before configuring parameters of GT200-BM-2RS, the user need search the gateway using the software. The software provides two ways to search the gateway for the user. 3.3.1 Search All Equipment of Ethernet Click "Search equipment"...
Click "IP Search" button of the main interface will pop up a dialog box, and user need to enter the IP address of the equipment. After entering the correct IP address, the software will search GT200-BM-2RS with this IP address in the network, and list the information of the equipment in the main interface.
