General

The 6KCV300CTI interface allows the connection of a PC to AV-300, DV-300 and DGF card using the RS485 port.

The Interface can be connected directly to the RS232 serial line of the PC, and through a standard 9 pin cable to the XS connector of the Drive or the DGF board. The interface allows two type of connection: Point to Point Connection Multidrop connection

Point to Point connection

This type of connection can only be used for direct communication of the PC to the Drive and its options, using software configuration tools designed for this purpose. Do not use 6KCV300CTI for system control or monitoring. The maximum cable length is of 2 meters from the PC to drive. The board is powered from by means of the communication line RS 485 through the XS1 connector with a +5V (10%) referred to GNDD. The supply is provided by the Drive regulation board or by the DGF card. See section 6 to properly set jumpers The Interface converts the RS232 of the full duplex serial line of the PC into the RS485 of the half duplex serial line of the Drives. The management of the RS485 device is completely automatic and it does not require any software control. The Interface has two dip-switches for the insertion or disconnection of the terminating resistors. For the Point to Point connection these switches must be set in OFF position. To configurate the 6KCV300CTI Interface as Point to Point, it is necessary to connect it to the Drive through a standard cable. To do this, connect directly pin to pin all the single wires (9 wires) or at least the pins 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 (5 wires) of the connectors XS1 (CV300CTI) and XS (Drive or DGF).

Multidrop connection
This connection is used to connect the PC to a Multidrop line, which connects the RS485 with two or more Drives and DGF boards. The maximum length of the connection is 600 meters. It is reccomended to connect the CV300CTI converter as close as possible to the PC and use the RS485 line to cover the remaining distance required by the connection. Supply the board through the connector XS1 providing a +5V (10%) supply referred to GNDD. The supply must be provided to the XS1.9 (+5V) and XS1.5 (GND) pins. The interface converts the RS232 of the PC into the RS485 of the Drives. The management of the RS485 drive, must be carried out by the PC by mean of the RTS command, available on the RS232 serial line connector. When active, the command RTS enables the RS485 drive for the transmission. The two dip-switches placed on the interface have the function to insert or disconnect the terminating resistors of the line, when set as first and last drop of the net. As default the terminating resistors are disconnected (switches = OFF). The interface connects directly the command RTS (7) to the signal CTS (8) and the command DTR (4) to the signal DSR (6) of the PC. The Multidrop configuration is carried out connecting the CV300CTI interface to the Drives or DGF through a standard cable. The connection requires only the direct connection of pins 3, 5, 7 and 9 (4 wires) of the two connectors XS1 (6KCV300CTI) and XS (Drive or DGF). For this it is necessary keeping the pin XS1.4 not connected to any signal (Float).

Cable length
The maximum cable length of the RS485 serial protocol allows is equal to 600 meters. Using the CV300CTI Interface, no length of the connection cable is determined about the RS232 side (PC side), and it is required to set the Interface directly to the PC serial output.

2.3

Maximum number of Drops

Each 6KCV300CTI can supply, in Multidrop configuration, a maximum number of 32 devices Drives/Dgfc. A properly sized 5V external power supply is required. A rule of thumb would be 2.5 ADC 5 V power supply for 32 devices.

General information

The connection of the command DTR* to the signal DSR* is direct, without electrical interface. The status of the signal DSR* can be used to verify the PCI-485 Interface connection to the PC. The connection of the command RTS* to the signal CTS* is performed by mean of an electical interface RS232. The status of the signal CTS can be used ti verify the connection and the supply of the PCI-485 interface.
