1. Introduction
RS-422 (V.11) is a duplex interface for two devices´ communication. he
symmetric signals are transmitted via the twisted pair and they are immune to the
interference. Maximum range is 1200m which can be increased using repeaters.
1.1 Use of the converter
he fibre optic cable is immune to electromagnetic interference and atmospheric
electricity influences, it provides maximum D E protection and high
communication reliability. he distance between devices is not more than 2km so
using multimode fibres is economically convenient in automation.
2. Operation principles
he converter transfers x signal of the RS-422 interface to the transmitting optic
fiber and copies it from the receiving optic fiber to Rx of the RS-422 interface.
Maximum data rate limit is 115.2 kbps. LED diodes indicate the transmitted and
received signal.
3. Installation
his part describes the ELO E174 converter installation principles.
3.1 Optic link connection
S 400 connectors are used to connect the fiber optic cable. o connect two
converters, the RANSMI connector of the local converter has to be connected to
the RECEIVE connector of the remote converter and the RECEIVE of the local
converter has to be connected to the RANSMI connector of the remote one. he
cable has to be multimode 50/125 or 62.5/125μm and it should not be longer than
2 km are recommended.
3.2 RS-422 interface connection
RS-422 interface connector is DB9F (female), signals assignment to the contacts
(see the Fig.). If the OU +5V and IN +8V signals are not used the D E can be
connected to the converter via the cable up to 1200m long or the tolerable supply
voltage decrease limits the cable length.

3.3 Power supply connection
o supply the converter, the external power supply of 6V via SCJ 2.5mm connector
(yellow LED labelled 6V indicates it) or via 9 contact (IN+8V) is used, e.g. from
the D E. he green LED labelled 8V indicates this supply. he D E receives the
external supply information via OU +5V signal. his arrangement enables to back
up the converter supply. he external supply 6V is isolated from the RS-422 link.
Maximum take off is 170mA.
Caution!
Do not connect the DC connector if the supply is on.

5. Testing
When the power supply is connected the
appropriate LED has to be alight. o work
properly at least one of 8V or 6V LED must be
alight.
he LED diodes respective to the optic
transmitter/receiver ( RANSMI /RECEIVE)
must blink during transmission.
