Master device
As mentioned before the RS-485 network concept needs one master device. This master device (network controller) is composed of a PC running WinControl and a RS-232 to RS-485 adapter connected to the RS- 232 port of the PC. Detailed information about the WinControl program can be found in the related help file.
The RS-232 to RS-485 adapter is a small 9-pin sub-D device which can be connected to one of the computer’s serial COM ports. In the normal case the adapter is directly powered from the RS-232 terminal of the PC. The RS-232 to RS-485 adapter is not galvanically isolated. The adapter is intended for network connections during installation, maintenance or operation whenever control over specific process parameters is needed. In conjunction with the adapter a dedicated cable is needed with a 9-pin sub-D female connector and a WAGO cage clamp connector (see Table 6 to Table 8).
