RS232 to RS485 for Multiple units or cables longer than 50ft
The DPN10601 can be connected to your PC serial port via a RS485 converter (
model number
:
485SD9TB
sold separately
). This converter will convert the RS232 voltage signals to the com-
patible RS485 differential signals. Only one converter box is needed per serial port. Contact
the factory or use the website www.anaheimautomation.com for RS485 converter information
and sales.
Terminating Resistor
To eliminate noise on the transmission lines or when using a 4000 ft. or longer cable, a terminat-
ing resistor is suggested. If used, the termination resistor need only be added to the last (furthest
from the converter box) DPN10601 in the network between pins A(-) and B(+) on the RS485
Terminal Block. The value of this resistor should be 120 ohms.
Axis Selection
Each DPN10601 is addressed using a programmable register allowing the PC to address up to
99 DPN10601’s from one port. The Default axis is “0”. To change the axis, use the SMC60WIN
software or the “~” command. To verify or check the axis, use the SMC60WIN software or the “%”
command. The axis designation is nonvolatile and will remain the same until changed by the user.
Controller Status LED
When powered and operated properly, the status LED will be green. When an error occurs, the
LED will change to RED, and an error code will be generated in the error code register. To read
and clear the error with software, click on the “Verify Parameters” button located in the “Motion
Tab”. To read and clear the error while in “Direct Mode”, use the error code “!” command. Once
the error has been read and cleared, the LED will return to green and the error code register will
be cleared to 0. Refer to the table on page 39 for a complete list of the error codes.
Technical Support
Everyone needs assistance on occasion. If you have problems using any of the equipment cov-
ered by this manual, please read the manual to see if it will answer your questions. Be sure to
look in the Trouble-shooting Section located near the back of this manual. If you need assistance
beyond what this manual can provide, you may call the factory direct for application assistance.
If possible, have this manual in hand. It is often helpful to have the controller connected to a
computer with the software installed.
