2.2 Panel Mounting With the use of an optional panel-mount adapter, the RuggedMCTM series of media converters can be panel mounted. Drawing 4 shows an example of an RMC unit panel mounted using the optional panel mount adapter. The panel mount adapter can be secured to a panel with three screws. The RuggedMCTM product is easily mounted onto the panel mount adapter via the two metal clips on either side of the unit, and a single screw located on the bottom.
2.3 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding Drawing 5 - RuggedMCTM Power Supply Inputs The RuggedMCTM power supply inputs are identical and are connected as follows: 1. +/L = DC (+) / AC (Hot) is connected to the positive (+) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Hot) terminal if the power source is AC. 2. -/N = DC (-) / AC (Neutral) is connected to the negative (-) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Neutral) terminal if the power source is AC. 3.
2.4 Serial Ports – Signal Description The RMC30 is equipped with a seven-terminal phoenix style connector. This connector can accommodate one RS232 connection, and one RS485/422 connection. Drawing 6 shows the connections for RS232, RS485, and RS422 communications. The following sections describe installation details for respective ports.
2.4.1 RS232 Data Port The RMC30 is equipped with a single EIA/TIA RS232 compliant port, consisting of three terminals: Transmit, Receive, and Common. The RS232 port is intended for point-to-point applications only. The EIA/TIA guidelines for RS232 communications include (but are not limited to) the following: 1. To minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise, shielded cabling is recommended. 2. Reliable communications within 15m. Greater distances are possible. 3.
2.4.2 RS422 and RS485 Data Ports The RMC30 is equipped with a single RS485 / RS422 data port. In half duplex mode (See section 2.5 for RMC30 configuration) the RS485 connections (Rx +, Rx -, COM) should be connected. In full-duplex mode the RS422 connections (Rx+, Rx -, Tx+, Tx-, COM) should be connected. Both RS485 and RS422 can accommodate multi-drop networks, for master-slave serial network communications. For both RS485 / RS422 connections, the following general guidelines should be followed: 1.
