10. RS-485 Communications
The optional RS-485 communication interface of the CC5MPX can be used in
conjunction with the MD485 to interface a datalogger to 1 or more cameras. Refer
to the MD485 Manual for additional information.
The MD485 is useful for connecting more than 1 camera to a datalogger or if long
cable lengths are involved. If multiple cameras are connected to an MD485, then it
would be beneficial to offset the capture times of the images so that only 1 camera
is attempting to transmit a file at any given time.
The camera can download images or video via an RS-485 port using the PakBus
protocol. An MD485 is required to interface the camera to a datalogger. The
following items are required for RS-485 PakBus communications and can be
confirmed by either the web interface of the Device Configuration Utility:
x Confirm that the PakBus port parameter of the Communications Setting is
reading RS-485.
x Set the RS-485 BAUD rate to match the BAUD rate of the device being
connected to the camera.
x Set the parameter PakBus Address of Commincation Settings to a unique
value in the PakBus network.
x Set the parameter PakBus Destination Address of the device that the
camera needs to send images to.
x Include PakBus Security Code, as required.
