Resolution
LIB-4-485 is a RS-232 to RS-485 converter to be used with VisiSat for communicating to MicroNet NCP Controllers or Satchnet controllers without the need for a MNMI or MIU respectively.
The LIB-4-485 is powered from the communications port of your PC and no external power is required, providing the PC port adheres to the RS-232 specification (we have used successfully with Dell PC’s).
The connection to the LAN are:-
TD (A) – To negative (-) communications terminal of controller.
TD (B) – To positive (+) communications terminal of controller.
GND – Screen connected at LIB card only and not at controller.
VisiSat requires the following settings to be configured in the VisiSat Server. The Server is found minimized next to the clock in the system tray. At the bottom right corner of your desktop, double click the server icon to show the VisiSat Server client.
Select settings from the Network Menu Option.
The Configure Network Settings window will be displayed as below. Select ‘Serial Port’ as the Transport type, and click the Configure button.
1. The configuration for use with MicroNet controllers needs to be as detailed below.
2. The configuration for use with IAC controllers needs to be as detailed below.
Once the correct selection has been made click OK. VisiSat is then ready to use with selected controllers.
