Networking notes:
o A Modbus network and a RS-485 network are physically identical but cannot be mixed due to the
difference between the communicatio n pr otoc ol s.
o The internal configuration of the HC2 probe determines which communication protocol (RO-ASCII or
Modbus) will be used by the combination of probe and adapter. RO-ASCII is the factory default communication protocol for the HC2 probe and is automatically used whenever the probe is interrogated by the HW4 software.
The protocol used by the probe when not communicating with HW4 can be changed between RO-ASCII and Modbus with the HW4 software > Device Manager. After interrogating or configuring the probe with HW4, cycle power to the probe to enable the selected protocol.
o When connecting the probe to a RS-485 network be sure that the probe is configured to use the RO-ASCII
protocol.
o RS-485 Compatibility: the RO-ASCII protocol is not compatible with the protocol used by the previous
generation of ROTRONIC products. Do not connect legacy products and the adapter / HC2 probe combination to the same RS-485 multi-drop network.
o Within a RS-485 network, the combination of HC2 probe and adapter is always seen as a slave. The RS-
485 address is that of the HC2 probe. The factory default is address 0. The master is another ROTRONIC device with an interface combination such as RS-485 and USB or RS-485 and TCP/IP.
Please note that each device connected to a RS-485 networ k , includ ing the ma ster dev ice , must have a unique address. As long as the factory default address of the HC2 probe (0) has not been changed, the HW4 software will automatically change the address of the probe to the next available address at the time that the probe is added as a slave to a RS-485 network monitored by HW4.
The RS-485 address of the HC2 probe can also be changed manually with the HW4 software Device Manager.
o Each adapter can be powered either by an individual voltage source or centrally powered from the network
with a single voltage source. In the case of a network that both provides power and transmits data, a shielded cable with two twisted pairs is required for the main bus.
o User to supply all necessary connecting hardware such as T-connection box, terminal box, etc. o Prior to using the adapter, we strongly recommend consulting the following documents:

7.1.1 Powering the networked devices from the RS-485 main data line

Depending on the model, the devices connected to a RS-485 network can be powered from the main data line as opposed to each device being powered separately. Please check the instruction manual of each device
The AC3010 offers the following options to power devices from the main data line:
a) Power directly from the USB port
Cable AC3010 has two wires (V+ and GND) that can be used to power the networked devices directly from the USB port (5 VDC, 100 mA). In addition to the limit of 100 mA, the length of the main data line should not exceed 100 m / 330 Ft.

o Limit the RS-485 network to a single main data line (one segment) o Terminate each end of the main data line with a 240 Ohm resistor. Termination resistors should be placed
only at the extreme ends of the data line, and no more than two terminations should be placed in any single segment of an RS-485 network
o The total length the T connections should be included in the limit set for the main data line
(100 m or 1000 m)
o Do not connect more than 64 devices to the same main data line o Each device connected to the RS-485 network should be given a unique address (1 to 64)

7.2 Ethernet / RS-485 converter

o Any AirChip 3000 device that has a RS-485 port o Docking stations for the HygroLog HL-NT o Any legacy device that has a RS-485 port
IMPORTANT:
1) Use of the AC3011 requires a PC with the HW4 software version 2.4.0 or higher. The HW4 software includes an Ethernet Configuration Tool that can be used to make the TCP/IP settings of the AC3011 converter compatible with the LAN to which the HW4 PC is connected For add itio nal information see documents E-M-HW4v3-Main (§ 7.4 and § 11.2) and IN-E-TCPIP-Conf.
2) The AC3011 converter allows mixing both AirChip 3000 and legacy devices within the same RS-485 network as long as all devices use the same Baud rate (19200)
