ADA-13028L supports the baud rate 19,2kbps without interfering with data format. Converter has screw terminal block for connection
of Current Loop CLO interface and power and RJ45 for ETHERNET connection. It is possible to connect 4 devices operating in half
duplex mode to CLO network constructed on the base of ADA-13028L.
Converter uses the signals CLO+, CLO-, Rd- of Current Loop CLO interface. It is adapted for powering from the regular voltage
external source which value should contain from 10V to 30V and was provided from the power pack about 3W power. Converter has
implemented protection against opposite polarization of power supply and over-voltage protection on CLO bus. ADA-13028L has
galvanic isolation between ETHERNET and Current Loop CLO interface and power supply and optoisolation in signal channel
between ETHERNET and CLO interface. Converter has also inside over-voltage low-energy for each line of Current Loop interfaces
but to the lightning protection of the connection you should use external lightning conductors e.g. typical protection a telephone line.
We provide with the converter drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems.
In the operating system (Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8/8.1/10), will create an additional COM port. This port is the next free
number eg COM3, can be used like a standard COM port. However, it is not the real port existing in a computer, but only a virtual,
created by the system, therefore some programs running under DOS and links to this COM port may not function properly.

4.1. SETTIN RECEIVER SENSITIVITY OF CLO CURRENT LOOP
Devices with a passive interface CLO may have different current values in the logical zero state, therefore you should set a converter
receiver sensitivity. Wrong ad ustment of receiver sensitivity is revealed by illumination of RX LED during data receiving from
connected devices (energy counter) despite the correct connection of device to converter. A sensitivity is set by adding additional
resistor to Rd and CLO+ screw terminal block. If the resistor is correct RX LED will by blinking during data receiving. ADA-13028L
converter is supplied with resistors Rd = 220W / 0,25W and 120W / 0,25W.
