Black Box 485 manual Additional Equipment YOU MAY Need, Tech Specs

IC150A

Technically Speaking

•SmartNode 485 responds to master-device polls using the unique SmartNode protocol.

•Each of the SmartNode 485’s ports are user-configurable. Set each port for speed, parity, and data code of the device to which it is attached.

•Use inexpensive, twisted-pair cable to connect the devices on your RS-485 network.

•RS-485’s exceptional noise immunity enables you to network RS-232 devices in electrically noisy environments like machine shops, hospitals, and factories.

•An 8K buffer is available either to store data from the RS-232 device until the master asks for it, or to spool master-device requests until the RS-232 device can respond.

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT YOU MAY NEED

•To use a PC in your network, try our PC↔422/485 Card (IC030C-R2). It fits right inside your PC to enable communication with RS-422/485 devices.

•To place an RS-232 master on your RS-485 line, you’ll need an interface converter. Try our RS-232↔RS-422/485 Interface Converter (IC007A)

Why Buy From Black Box? Exceptional Value. Exceptional Tech Support. Period.

Recognize any of these situations?

•You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.

•The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.

•You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.

•It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the

best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
