1. General description.

The RS485-TTL ”INTR” interface enables connecting of the PSU of the PSBEN (Black Power) series to the

RS485 bus remaining a galvanic isolation. The communication inside the RS485 bus is due to a two-way channel,

differential in a half-duplex system where transmitting and receiving data is alternate.

2. Arrangement of the components.

The picture below shows the arrangement of the most important components and connectors of the

RS485-TTL interface on the pcb.

3. Connecting to the RS485 bus.

3.1 System structure in the RS485 bus.

Use a twisted-pair cable as a transmission wire of the bus. The bus shall be of a ”point-to-point” topology,

the ”star” type of topology is to be avoided. If the wires are of a significant length it is recommended to use a

shielded cable that will prevent from errors during communication and lowers the susceptibility to noise and

emission of radio frequency interference. It is also advisable to mount termination resistors at the ends of the bus.

Their resistance ought to be comparable to the impedance specific for the lead in use, i.e. 120 Ohm.

Shown below is a block diagram of an RS485 bus with the use of RS485-TTL interfaces housed in

enclosures of PSBEN series.

Fig. 2. A block diagram of power supplies of PSBEN series with the RS485-TTL interface

connected to the RS485 bus.

The location for mounting the interfaces has been selected inside the PSU’s enclosure. The connection

with the PSU is to be made via an additional TTL cable, included in the set with the interface. The TTL cable is to

be connected to the “SERIAL’ outlets that are located both in the interface and the pcb of the PSU. The connection

with the RS485 bus is through the “RS-485” connector that is located on the pcb of the interface. Connect the wires

of the RS485 bus to the A+, B- terminals of the connector. They are assigned in the same way and the connection

is identical to the rest of devices (A+ to A+, B- to B-).

Data conversion between the RS485 bus and the computer is implemented by a different kind of an

interface – “INTUR”, also available in the company’s product mix.

3.2 Connecting the interface to the bus.

1) Mount the RS485-TTL interface in a selected location within the PSU.

2) Connect the interface to the PSU using the additional TTL cable (included to the interface set) and

plugging it in the “SERIAL” outlets.

3) Connect the wire of the RS485 bus to the RS-485 connector of the interface. Take notice of the A+, B-

wires so that they are connected in the same manner as in other devices, i.e. A+ to A+, B- to B-. In the

case of shielded wires, the shield is to be connected to the SG signal ground terminals.

4) Optionally, mount the 120 Ohm termination resistors at the end of the RS485 bus.

5) Connect the USB-RS485 interface that converts data from the RS485 bus to a USB standard. This

interface is also available in the product mix of PULSAR company.

6) Assign an address to each PSU within the bus – chapter 3.3.

Addresses cannot be repeated.

7) Configure the connection in the PowerSecurity programming software.

3.3 The PSU configuration – assigning the addresses.

Communication in the RS485 bus requires setting appropriate communication parameters in all devices

and assigning unrepeatable addresses. The configuration of power supplies of the PSBEN series is via a display

located on the front panel of the enclosure. The procedure for a PSU with an LED display differs from an LCD one.

All power supplies have a preset address 1.

3.3.1 Configuration of the PSU with an LCD display.

- enter the PSU ”Settings” menu

(if the main screen is displayed, press the ”SET” button)

- with ‘>’ or ‘<’ choose the PSU menu

- confirm your choice with the ‘SET’ button

- with ‘>’ or ‘<’ choose the Comm. Address

- press the ”SET” button

- the prompt will appear at the end of the line

- with ‘>’ or ‘<’ set the address from 1 to 247.

- confirm your choice with the ‘SET’ button

3.3.2 Configuration of the PSU with an LED display.

– press simultaneously the right and

the leftmost buttons on the LED display

- press “OK” after appearing the “Adr” string

- with ‘>’ or ‘<’ set the address from 1 to 247.

- confirm the address with the ‘OK’ button
