The TTL-232-1 is an
industrial grade (wide temperature range with surge & static
protection) port-powered bi-directional
RS232 to TTL converter, which can be used to
convert RS232 to 5V TTL/CMOS compatible levels and vice
versa. The unit is powered from the RS232 data line, and
therefore, no external power or RTS, DTR is required.

 Note:
Some software requires handshake line
acknowledgements. To satisfy the requirements, our
converter's handshake lines are tied together (DCD,
DTR, and DSR tied together, and RTS and CTS tied
together). Therefore, you don't have to modify your
existing software. |

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR RS232 TTL CONVERTER
|
|
|
|
1) Port power measurement |
|
 |
|
|
|
Measure pin
+5V and GND with a voltmeter, and be sure that it is around
+5VDC (when RS232 port is connected). Otherwise, please
check the power on the RS232 port to which the converter is
connected (as shown below). |
|
 |
|
Note: The port-powered
RS232 TTL converter (TTL-232-1) requires a -7 to -15VDC on
the TX line (Pin 3 on DTE or Pin 2 on DCE) of the RS232 port
to which the converter is connected.
You can connect TTL-232-1 to a
DTE device which comes with a DB-9 Male connector; however,
if it is a DCE device, you will need to swap Pin 2 and 3
before connecting to the converter. |
|
|
|
2) Loopback Test |
|
 |
|
- Connect a TTL-232-1 to
your PC's COM port and short TX and RX on the TTL
terminal block (as shown above).
-
Run 232Analyzer
FREE version software on your computer.
- Select "ASCII" for
both the Send and Receive data formats. Then send
command and/or string such as "CommFront" from the
232Analyzer software. You should receive an echo of the
command/string sent ("CommFront"). By performing a
simple loopback test like this, you can test both the
transmitter and receiver of the converter. This is very
helpful when you are in doubt about the performance of
your converter.

232Analyzer is an advanced RS232 Serial Protocol Analyzer
software
that allows you to control, monitor and analyze serial port
(RS232 / RS485 / RS422 / TTL, etc.) activities.
Not just the data,
it also allows you to monitor or change RS-232's line
states: RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and RI.
The FREE version (no time
limitation) can be downloaded from
