1. Operation overview

The adapters S88-A have connections for both an Ethernet patch-cable (RJ-45) and a 6-conductor s88-connecting cable. They allow to connect advices for the s88 bus with customary 6-pin connections via patch cables (RJ-45) to each other. Unlike the 6-conductor connecting cables frequently used so far, the patch-cables used in computer networks are screened against outside electric signals.

The assignment of commercial Ethernet patch-cables for use in s88 feedback systems has been regulated in the standard s88-N. The adapters S88-A correspond to this standard.

Versions of the adapters S88-A

The adapters are available in four different versions for different mounting situations:

S88-A-BR: Adapter with connecting socket, direction "central unit". S88-A-BL: Adapter with connecting socket, direction "following module". S88-A-SR: Adapter with connecting plug, direction "central unit". S88-A-SL: Adapter with connecting plug, direction "following module".

Connection socket or plug?

Devices for the s88 bus (feed back modules, central unit, etc.) have 6pin connecting plugs. If there is space available and if the adapter can be securely mounted, it makes sense to use adapters with sockets.

With some devices it is impossible securely mounting an adapter with socket. With those devices connecting an adapter with connecting plug via a short 6-conductor connecting cable (e.g. S88-15) is recommended.

Direction "central unit" or "following module"?

The wires of the s88-data line are numbered from 1 to 6 and are assigned differently. In order to ensure the data transfer, the wires 1 to 6 have to be connected continuously to each other. Normally, the s88 feedback modules are designed so that the flat 6-conductor connecting cables frequently used so far do not have to be twisted.

For this reason the adapters are available with two different PIN assignments. The version "R" is used with those s88 devices showing their connecting plug in direction of the central unit, the version "L" for those modules and devices showing their connecting plug in direction of the following module.

Explanations for the examples:

1 The central unit shown does not allow connecting an adapter with

socket. That is the reason why the connection is made via a short

6-connector connecting cable and an adapter with plug. As the

central unit´s connection shows in direction of the following

module, an adapter version "L" is required.

23This version of a s88 module allows you to fit adapters with

socket directly. At the modules connection showing in the

direction of the central unit an adapter version "R" is used, at the

connection showing in the direction of the following module an

adapter version "L" is used.

4 With this version of a s88 module, no adapter with socket can be

used. For this reason the connection is made via a short 6-

connector connecting cable and an adapter with plug. As the

module´s connection shows in direction of the central unit, an

adapter version "R" is required.

2. Mounting the adapter

Connect the adapter to the patch cable and the s88 feedback module or device. For this purpose use an adapter with socket or an adapter with plug and a short 6-connector connecting cable. Be sure that the adapter is supported safely after having been put on.

Caution:

Avoid constructions which allow the adapter to be moved after having been connected. Due to (involuntary) movements of the adapter the connections of the s88 module or the digital device and their mounting can be damaged.

3. Check list for trouble shooting

The central unit / the memory / the interface do not show the proper status.

Possible cause: The connection(s) between the adapter and the connected device and / or the patch cable have been interrupted. à Check the connection(s).

Possible cause: You have mounted an adapter not corresponding to the set mounting direction. à Check if mounting direction and the chosen adapter correspond to each other and, if necessary, exchange the adapter.

Hotline: If problems with your adapter occur, our hotline is pleased to help you. (address on the cover page).
