Daniel GC through BridgeMux BM85 communication
Communications systems and equipment. topic
Posted by techman on 18 October, 2008 - 3:49 pm
The Setup - Daniel make Gas analysers are connected to LD485A on RS485 2 wire half duplex communication.

The LD485A output is RS232 is connected to Bridge BM85 port 3. The port 3 is set as slave, ID is 3 which is same as GC ID 3.

POrt1 of BM85 is set as master, & a PC is communicating to it (PC looks at GC as slave with an ID as 73 as i.e. mapped ID of bridgeMux)
The settings are 9600,8,1,odd parity.

Problem - The PC cannot communicate to Daniel GC through BM85. Daniel GC/LD485A to PC works fine when directly connected.
Similarly if I connect 2 PC to the ports of Bridge mux it works fine. But Bridge mux cannot recognize GC, the Pc gives error Invalid address.

The Bridge mux port 3 also never blinks while Port1 is trying to communicate. I have used straight, crossed, null modem type cables, still problem persists.

I have tried vairous Modbus master tools & the Daniel Mon Modbus test biult in tool, but no results. Any solution to above problem will be much helpful & appreciated.

Thanks,
techman
