Serial Card, 2 Ports, RS232/RS485

l

The DeltaV System also supports the Series 2 Serial Card, 2 Ports, RS232/RS485.

The DeltaV Serial Card provides an interface to a variety of serial devices, such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) that use the Modbus RTU or ASCII protocol. With the DeltaV Explorer, you can configure each of the two ports provided on the serial card to support RS232, RS422/485 half duplex, or RS422/485 full duplex signals and you can configure the baud rate of each port. Installation Notes
l

For CE compliance, use shielded cables to connect the serial card to external devices. Ground the cable shield at one end only. If the external device does not provide a mechanism to ground the cable shield, connect the shield to the DeltaV Carrier Shield Bar. If you use the RS422/485 ports, the shield must also provide the ground reference for the port. Connect the cable shield to the corresponding ground (GND) terminal on the interface terminal block. The Interface terminal block is recommended to provide screw terminations for field wiring for the Serial card and the Series 2 Simplex Serial card. Refer to "Interface Terminal Block" for terminal block specifications. The Redundant Interface terminal block is recommended to provide screw terminations for field wiring for the Series 2 Redundant Serial card. Refer to "Redundant Interface Terminal Block" for information. The following tables define the terminal assignments for RS232, RS422/485 half duplex, and RS422/485 full duplex port types.

The following figure shows a wiring scheme from Port 1 on the Interface terminal block for a Serial card and a Series 2 Simplex Serial card to a Modicon Model 984 controller.

Interface Terminal Block Wiring Example, Serial Card The following figure shows an example for connecting a primary and secondary computer to a Redundant Interface terminal block for a Series 2 Serial card in redundant mode. For each computer, use the same wiring scheme as shown in the above figure.
