1. The first is that all of the SmartMotors are effectively connected in parallel In the typical RS 232 sys tem each node is connected in a series daisy chain where each node passes information sequentially down the chain Each node takes a finite amount of time to receive and re transmit the message it receives resulting in a total system propagation delay that grows with each node that you add to the chain If the nodes are in parallel as in the case of the DIN RS232 the time delay is minimized and is independent of the number of SmartMotors used Nothing is for free however as this means that you have to ensure that no SmartMotor is talking at the same time as another All of the SmartMotors are effectively connected in parallel The second thing to note is that while both the host RS 232 and RS 485 channels can fully communicate with the SmartMotors neither channel can communicate with or monitor the other Both host channels however always see what the SmartMotors are transmitting The SmartMotors connect to the DIN RS232 via standard pitch terminal blocks These are opti cally isolated from both the host serial channels and power distribution circuitry Each set of ter minal blocks is connected as follows Animatics Corporation Fax 408 748 8725 Tel 408 748 8721 www animatics com DIN RS232 si user s manual 5 Each SmartMotor interface is equipped Isolated R 222 Connections with a disable swit2.

3. DIN RS23e2 user s manual lt s ANIMATICS i Defining the Future in Motion Control DIN RS232 si user s manual 2 Overview The DIN RS232 is a DIN rail mount breakout for SmartMotor RS 232 communications It allows a single master to communicate with up to eight SmartMotors over RS 232 without the loss of bandwidth typical of daisy chain propa gation Since this operation is nearly identical to the operation of a RS 485 bus the DIN RS232 can also accommodate an RS 485 master Hereafter the SmartMotor version 3 and 4 products will simply be referred to as the SmartMotor The DIN RS232 provides an interface between either an RS 232 or RS 485 host and up to eight SmartMotors via an opto isolated parallel bus The connection to the SmartMotors is not in daisy chain eliminating long propagation timing delays The DIN RS232 also provides a fused power distribu tion bus and the Animatics peripheral expan sion bus The DIN RS232 has three primary functions e Isolated parallel RS 232 interface e Fused power distribution e Animatics peripheral expansion bus INCAVIGUALLY ISGLATED F 23727 CONNECTIONS Bokiied RS 232 Channels i Ernoke Disabe LED Indicators Enetle Disoble Switches morU 1 Smad olor 2 SmerlMaler A Sma Moti Y3 SmatNotor 7 amar Mitor ye SmarMotar amp SmarMaor 3 1w an K U W O R Wo S w sm GND T Be amy GND TX R Jeu GND TX BX M
