1.0 Description

The Model 8323 RS-232 to RS-422 interface converter allows information exchange in full-duplex mode over two twisted pairs, linking RS-422 equipment with asynchronous RS-232 equipment, on the DIN rail mounting system.
The RS-422 standard specified by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) relates to the electrical characteristics of the generators and receivers used in a point-to-point system with symmetrical or balanced digital signals. The RS-422 interface is widespread in industrial environments.

The Model 8323 has one RS-232 I/O configured in DCE mode enabling the reception of data on the receive pair (RS-422 side) or the transmission of data towards the RS-422 transmit pair. The RS-422 4-wire connection allows full-duplex transmission.

2.0 Operating Mode

2-1 Block Diagram:

The Model 8323 interface converter provides opto isolation between the RS-232 interface and the RS-422 line by the use of optical couplers. The transmit data from the RS-232 port is sent over the RS-422 line where it is received by the far end RS-422 receiver.

2-2 RS-422 4-Wire Connection

The principle of an RS-422 4-wire link is based upon the use of independent transmission and reception circuits. Each link requires a termination load on the receiving end. Each Model 8323 located at the end of the link allows the insertion of this 120 Ohm termination (RS-422 Standard).

NOTE: The Model 8323 requires the use of twisted pair cabling with a nominal impedance of 120 Ohms. The use of cable that does not have the correct impedance or is poorly twisted will produce unreliable operation.
