A RS485/422 interfaces are intended to connect multiple devices for distances up to 1600m; RS485 allows half-duplex communication, while RS422 full-duplex. An adapter E222 allows to integrate the RS485 or RS422 devices into the Ethernet network thereby bridge long distances.
It should be considered, that data stream can be packetized and possible delayed because of the nature of the Ethernet and its anticollision mechanism. 3.0 Installation This chapter describes the adapter E222 installation process. The process is divided to two sub-processes - software and hardware installation. 3.1 Ethernet connection Adapter meets IEEE 802.3 specification and is to be plugged in to the...

The drivers can be downloaded from web pages www.elo.cz too. If virtual COM port on PC is applicable, it is neccessary to install the RealPort application. In other cases, utilities DigiConf and DigiWiz would be used instead.

Settings for half duplex RS485 is done. 4.0 Testing Plug the adapter to the Ethernet network. Power up the adapter. After a second should light up an orange indicator LNK (close to the Ethernet socket)..
Check proper termination configuration (depends on application) 6.0 Ordering info Ordering code is ELO E222 The adapter is delivered with installation CD-ROM and this manual. Serial cable with DB9 connectors is an optional accessory and must be ordered separately. Please include the cable length and connector type in...
