SCADA INTERFACE INSTRUCTIONS - OPTION 21PQ - FOR A12B SYSTEMS RS232, RS485 & TCP Connection Information RS232 Port Connection RS232 communications are accomplished through J2. The RS232 Port is a galvanically isolated interface. The RS232 interface is configured as DTE. The default settings are 9600 baud, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
Page 8
SCADA INTERFACE INSTRUCTIONS - OPTION 21PQ - FOR A12B SYSTEMS RS485 Port Connection (s) For RJ11/Phone Jack Equipped Cards The RS485 (J3, J4) ports are parallel RJ11 jacks. Thus you may connect to either J3 or J4. The RS485 Ports are galvanically isolated. The RS485 interface is "two wire" thus no handshaking takes place. The default connection would be 9600 baud, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

SCADA INTERFACE INSTRUCTIONS - OPTION 21PQ - FOR A12B SYSTEMS RS485 Port Connection (s) for Terminal Strip Equipped Cards The RS485 (TS1) port is a 3 pin terminal strip. The RS485 Ports are galvanically isolated. The RS485 interface is "two wire" thus no handshaking takes place. The default connection would be 9600 baud, 8 Bits, No Parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.

SCADA INTERFACE INSTRUCTIONS - OPTION 21PQ - FOR A12B SYSTEMS TCP Port Connection The TCP Interface will require the use of a “Cross-over” cable if you are going to connect the P36-302S card directly to a NIC on a PC. If you connect through a hub a “straight through” cable should suffice.

5) Testing Method. The communications cards are tested at the LaMarche factory prior to shipment using the Triangle MicroWorks Test Harness software program. Each of the ports (RS232, RS485 and Ethernet) is tested. The next several pages show actual screenshots from DNP & Modbus sessions that may assist in troubleshooting as they depict the actual settings that were required to test the board.
