How to Use RS-485 Ports
The RS-485 communication is supported by the following devices:
-
ReliaGATE 10-12
-
ReliaGATE 10-14
-
DynaGATE 10-14
-
ReliaGATE 10-20
-
ReliaGATE 20-25
-
BoltGATE 20-25
In general, the gateways are provided with serial ports that can work either as RS-232 or RS-485.
ESF supports this capability providing a bundle named RS485 Service that allows to control the RS-485 serial ports and, for example, switch between RS-232 and RS-485 modalities.
In the images below a screenshot of the RS485 Service configuration for the ReliaGATE 10-12:
and for the ReliaGATE 20-25:
In ReliaGATE 10-12, Eurotech advises to configure the serial port delay in a value in the interval [1..100] for both the serial delay.after and delay.before parameters
The RS485 configurator service can be disabled using the enable/disable toggle to allow custom configurations for the serial ports (e.g. please see the limitations with serial configurations on ReliaGATE/DynaGATE 10-14).
