Nova-Security Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 i think its a 0v and 5v pulse that is seen as 0's and 1's yes but remember its balanced so its the difference that is measured So if i stick my oscilloscope on it i will get a nice regualr pattern ? Why ? what are you trying to do ? www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

Why ? what are you trying to do ? Just some general testing. What should i expect ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 all 485 devices will measure the difference so they know when to communicate on their interupt. But you are getting towards the edge of my knowledge on 485 maybe someone else you knows more should chime in, also maybe you should say what your trying to achieve as we may have already done it securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Digital signal 0 or 5 V pulsed read as 0s or 1s Balanced measured in panel. Multiplexed depending on application. ????? You sound like you know your RS-485 to me. Thanks alot, cleared up alot for me. Panel and rio are 485 devices? Are there any 485 detectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 not that i know too, but im sure there are, but each 485 sensor would need to know what panel it was to communicate with securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Guest MikeP Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Must be easy it there is only one panel and only one line of communication ? James do you know how PMs work in here ? ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 there may only be 1 panel on the line but every panel uses 485 in s adifferent way and not all panels use 485 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

leesutton Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 eh? Sorry, not the most technical ? so how about can you run rs485 down a 2 core.? What is rs 485 in basic terms. analog perhaps ? If your an electronics engineer as you say you are you should know how it works as 485 is the basics lee Lee Sutton E-Mail: leesutton@centurianfire.co.uk Website: www.centurianfire.co.uk Phone: 0845 094 9870 CENTURIAN FIRE & SECURITY (part of centurian group limited) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova-Security Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 A galaxy passes information down the RS485 to devices and back, if something happens it reports it. In one of your other posts you want Grade 3 equipment by Sun, is this for you to install ? If so and you system is monitored you are breakin the rules and you system wont comply with 1. your insurance requirements 2. Police requirements so leave well alone. If you have fallen out with your installer get a new one. www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
