Enabling full duplex on USB-2COMi
The USB-2COMi is a USB to 2x (RS422/RS485) serial port device (www.easysync.co.uk). The lab has one that is used to control PT platforms in the LT. Full duplex I/O can be enabled as follows:
If you want to use it in full duplex ( 4-wire RS485 ) mode similar to the attached drawing, configure the 20 pin header jumpers as follows - 1-2 = connected if at the end of the cable, else unconnected. 3-4 = unconnected 5-6 = unconnected 7-8 = unconnected 9-10 = connected ( permanently enable TxD ) 11-12 = unconnected 13-14 = connected ( permanently enable RxD ) 15-16 = unconnected 17-18 = unconnected 19-20 = connected ( permanently enable CTS ) The DB9 pinout in this configution is Pin 1 = TXA Pin 2 = TXB Pin 3 = RXB Pin 4 = RXA Pin 5 = GND Pin 6 = n/c Pin 7 = n/c Pin 8 = n/c Pin 9 = n/c The above assumes that you are the RS485 master. If you are the RS485 slave then - 9-10 = unconnected 11-12 = connected ( auto enable TxD )
