The converter uses internal switches to select the conversion type (RS232 to RS485, RS232 to FIBER, or RS485 to FIBER) and the RS485 communications baud rates up to 57600 baud. The F485 converter uses the data on the serial port to determine direction and therefore requires no hardware handshaking signals from the computer. The F485 converter can be powered via the power adapter supplied or by connecting an external isolated 9 V AC/DC source to the power supply terminals located at the back of the case. The F485’s versatility and simple design makes it ideal for use with all GE Multilin products in direct and modem communications. TYPICAL CONFIGURATIONS Figure 1: RS232 to RS485 connection Figure 2: RS232 to FIBER and FIBER to RS485 F485 COMMUNICATIONS CONVERTER Page 4 of 8 g GE Multilin CONNECTIONS 805700A1.CDR RS232 COMPUTER FIBER OPTIC RS485 POWER POWER 9V AC/DC Tx Rx COM RS232 FIBER POWER JACK The RS232 connector on the F485 converter accepts a standard 9-pin computer cable. See wiring diagram for pin assignments. The fiber input/output will accept 50/125, 62.5/125 and 100/140um fiber sizes using ST terminated cables. Care should be taken when removing the protective caps to prevent dust from entering the connectors. Connect the supplied power adapter to this input if power is not supplied via the terminals. The power adapter steps down 120/220 VACto 9 VAC. RS485 The RS485 terminals accept a standard shielded twisted pair (such as Beldon 9841) and provide connections for a "+", "-" and a shield. The RS485 terminals have a terminating network installed internally and therefore, no external terminating network is required. Observe correct polarity. POWER TERMINALS The power terminals accept either 9 VACor 9VDCto power the F485 converter instead of using the power adapter. The GND terminal must be connected to ground to ensure adaquate protection against transients. Pin 4 is the main transient ground for the converter. GND 1 2 3 4 5 6 + - + - Figure 3: Connections CONFIGURATION The converter box is configured via two internal dip switch banks which are accessible by removing the converter box cover. Switches A1-A8 are used to set the baud rate for RS485 communications and determine whether the converter is DTE (RS232 direct) or DCE (RS232 modem). Switches B1-B6 are used to select the interface type. The designator for each switch is clearly marked on the printed circuit board. The tables shown below provide a description of each switch within the switch banks.

The F485 converter uses the incoming data to control the direction and therefore requires no control signals from the master device (RS232 or fiber) to switch from transmit to receive mode after the last character has been transmitted. The baud rate switches control the length of time that the RS485 transmitter will remain in the transmit direction after the last character has been transmitted. The length of time is fixed at 3.5 character times at the selected baud rate making it suitable for use with Modbus® RTU protocol. When converting RS232 to FIBER, these switches (A1-7) have no effect. DTE/DCE CONTROL The DTE/DCE setting reverses the transmit/receive data lines on the RS232 side. For communications between a computer and a slave device, DTE (direct) should be selected. When connecting the F485 converter to a modem or other...
