Connecting Protective Ground and Power for IR510

The accessory kit (Grounding Accessory Kit) which ships with the IR510, includes 2 ground screws and a tabular ground lug to provide protective ground for the IR510. Note: You must provide the 14-to-16 AWG ground wire. It is not included in the kit.

Figure 6 Grounding Accessory Kit

CAUTION To make sure that the equipment is reliably connected to earth ground, follow the steps below and use 14-to-16 AWG wire.

CAUTION Use at least a 4 mm ² conductor to connect the two external ground screws to the IR510.

To ground the IR510 to earth ground by using the 2 ground screws, follow these steps:

1. Use a wire stripping tool to strip the 14-to-16 AWG ground wire to 0.22 in. (5.56 mm).

2. Insert the ground wire into the ground lug, and using a crimping tool, crimp the ground lug to the wire.

3. Slide the two ground screws through the ground lug.

4. Insert the two ground screws into the functional ground screw openings found on the upper, left-hand side of the front panel of the IR510 ( Installing the Ground Lug Screw).

5. Use a ratcheting torque screwdriver to tighten the ground screws to the IR510 front panel. The torque should not exceed 8-11 in-lb (0.9 to 1.2 N-m).

6. Attach the other end of the ground wire to a grounded bare metal surface such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack.

Serial RJ45 Ports

Two RJ45 serial ports are provided to control and monitor RS232 or RS485 equipment. Serial port 0 can be configured for either RS232 DCE or RS485 half or full duplex. Serial port 1 can be configured for RS232 DTE only.

The RJ45 connector orientation as it appears on the router is shown in RJ45 connector.

Figure 9 RJ45 connector

The RJ45 pinouts are shown in RJ45 Pinouts

Figure 10 RJ45 Pinouts

Serial Port Characteristics

S0 and S1 Characteristics shows the characteristics of the S0 and S1 ports.

Table 8 S0 and S1 Characteristics

Cisco refers to the signal on pin 1 as DSR. Use the show interface async 0 (or 1) from the IOS command line will give you the state of the modem control signals on the last line:

DCD=up  DSR=up  DTR=down  RTS=down  CTS=up

Note : The Serial 0 and Serial 1 pin out is different from the Console/Auxiliary port, do NOT use the RJ-45 to DB-9 Blue colored Console Cable (72-3383-01).

DTE to DCE

While the equipment shown in Traditional DTE to DCE concept is less common today, the concept of DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and DCE (Data Communication Equipment) comes from the use of dial-up modems that were used on the telephone network until the late 1990’s.

Figure 11 Traditional DTE to DCE concept

Note : Circuits must tolerate voltages of + / - 15 V with respect to a ground reference and be able to withstand indefinite short circuit to ground. Minimum outputs for the IR510 are +/- 5 V.

RS232 Port

The RS232 signal names in S0 and S1 Characteristics apply to both Serial 0 and Serial 1 ports on the IR510. It is the direction of the data and flow control signals that differs. The RS232-DCE port, Serial 0, is designed to be connected to a far-end DTE port, or to another DCE port via a crossover (null-modem) cable. The RS232-DTE port, Serial 1 is designed to be connected to a far-end DCE port, or to another DTE port via a crossover (null-modem) cable.

CAUTION : please read the following three caution statements.

■This port is not shared with the Console port as is seen on some routers and switches in the Cisco Enterprise Portfolio where a console is provided that can be accessed both via USB and RS232 delivered on an RJ-45 style physical port.

■The pinout is also different from the connector pinout that was used for a Cisco RS232 console delivered on an RJ-45 style physical port.

■Serial 0 and Serial 1 use EIA-561 standard for RS-232 signals on an RJ-45 style physical port. This means the “baby blue” colored Cisco Serial Console Cable (72-3383-01) WILL NOT WORK.

RS232 is Point to Point – DTE to DCE

RJ45 Pin Layout and RS-232 pin assignments shows the pin layout and signal assignment for both the DB9 and RS-232 plugs.

Serial 0 configured as an RS485 Port

The RS232 pin out follows the EIA-561 standard, however, there is no standard for an RJ-45 connector used for RS485. In the IR510, the pin-pairs 1,2 and 3,6 were chosen for RS485 so that an Ethernet CAT-5 with the standard twisted-pair pin assignments can be used.

Note : RS485 usually requires 120 Ohm terminators at each end of the bus but there may be variations that depend upon the cable type.

The following are some of the common RS485 characteristics:

■Electrical

–Same signal levels as RS-422 except the topology is implemented as a bus rather than point-to-point

–A – B (differential signal) < -0.3V = MARK = OFF = logical 1

–A – B (differential signal) > +0.3V = SPACE = ON = logical 0

■Implications

–When RS485 is implemented as a bus, effectively, this is a form of a LAN and requires a higher level protocol. As a bus technology, you must have a protocol that controls access to the media vs. point-to-point where you can simply stream individual asynchronous characteristics.

–Since higher level protocol are used and the technology is primarily a LAN, no MODEM control signals are implemented in RS485.

2 Wire RS485 (Half Duplex)

Characteristics of a 2 wire, or Half Duplex RS485 connection include:

■Bus cable with a max. length of 1200 m (4000 ft) depending upon cable quality and speed of the data

■Stub cable with a max. of 5 meters

■Multi-master capability similar to coaxial cable based Ethernet

■Inverted line is generally indicated by the index "A" or "-" (TX/RX-)

■Non-inverted line designated as "B" or "+” (TX/RX+)

■Except for trivially short point to point connections, terminating resistors are generally required.

■A ground wire is also normally used in addition to what is shown in 2 Wire RS485 (Half Duplex)

Figure 14 2 Wire RS485 (Half Duplex)

4 Wire RS485 (Full Duplex)

Characteristics of a 4 wire, or Full Duplex RS485 connection include:

■Bus cable with a max. length of 1200 m (4000 ft) depending upon cable quality and speed of the data

■Stub cable of max. 5 meters

■Master/slave applications

■Inverted line is generally indicated by the index "A" or "-"

■Non-inverted line designated as "B" or "+”

■Except for trivially short point to point connections, terminating resistors are generally required.

■A ground wire is also normally used in addition to what is shown in 4 Wire RS485 (Full Duplex)

Figure 15 4 Wire RS485 (Full Duplex)

Wiring Recommendations for RS-485 Networks:

■Typically Category 5 Ethernet cable is suitable for RS-485.

■Shielded cable is desirable and the shield should be grounded at on end if it is used.

■Half Duplex - one pair shall be used for TX/RX+ and TX/RX- signals (orange and white/orange) and one wire for GND (blue).

■Full Duplex - one pair shall be used for RX+ and RX- signals (green and white/green), one pair shall be used for TX+ and TX- signals (orange and white/orange), and one wire for GND (blue).

■Unused wires should be terminated with 100 ohm resistors to ground at both ends of the cable using your chosen wire termination method, e.g. screw terminals, punch down blocks, etc. This will help to avoid undesirable inductive pickup in the unused conductors.

RS485 Termination Resistors

The following are some best practices when using terminating resistors:

■When the bit time is not substantially longer than the loop time of the cable, termination is crucial for minimizing reflections. (Speed for the signal to go the length of the cable and reflect back)

■If the bit time is substantially longer than the loop time of the cable, you can usually get by without terminating resistors as can be observed with short point to point cables at lower baud rates.

■For standard termination, you would match the termination resistor value with the differential-mode characteristic impedance of the cabling on both ends of the network. Typically 120 Ohm.

■No 120 Ohm terminations are used on the other multi-drop ports in the middle of the network, only at the two far ends of the network.

RS485 Failsafe Resistors

The following are some best practices when using failsafe resistors:

■When inputs are between -200mV and +200mV, receiver output is "undefined". There are four common fault conditions that result in the undefined receiver output that can cause erroneous data:

–All transmitters in a system are in shutdown.

–The receiver is not connected to the cable.

–The cable has an open.

–The cable has a short.

■Fail-safe biasing is used to keep the receiver's output in a defined state when one of these conditions occurs.

■The fail-safe biasing consists of a pull-up resistor on the non-inverting line and a pull-down resistor on the inverting line.

■With proper biasing, the receiver will output a valid high when any one of the fault conditions occurs.

■Fail-safe bias resistors should be placed at the receiver end of the transmission line.

Serial Port Control

The entire layer 1 configuration of the IR510 serial ports is done in IOS under the following constructs. The following example shows values other than the defaults to show most of the IOS keywords.

Note : To allow an IOx application to control the serial port parameters (set baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits), you must use the “propagation” keyword as shown in the following example:

Virtual Serial Ports

Line 1/5 and 1/6 are the Linux serial ports viewed from IOS

The physical and virtual ports are then linked by the following constructs:

■The serial devices, line 1/5 and 1/6, in IOS are instantiated in IOx as /dev/ttyS1 and /dev/ttyS2.

■The IOx serial device on the Linux host can then be exposed to an application container.

The port mapping from the physical port though IOS to the IOx would appear as in Port Mappings:

Figure 16 Port Mappings

To switch Serial 0 from RS232 to RS485, the configuration is set in interface Async0. The RS485 half or full duplex is set there as well. For example:

RS485 HALF DUPLEX - Serial 0 Only:

RS485 FULL DUPLEX - Serial 0 Only:
