User Guide
Product introduction
HXSP-422 series converter is bi-directional connector converter between
RS-232 and RS-422; it is mainly used for communication between main
controller machines, main controller machine and SCMs or Peripherals,
point to point and point to points remote communicate network, it achieve
request-response communication between multi-machines, it is mainly
used for the field of electricity, industrial automatic control, IC card billing
system; such as one card solution, access control system, parking
system, and so on.
HXSP-422 series converters change the TXD and RXD signals of RS -232
serial port to 4 wire full duplex RS-422 signal. No need to get through the
power, it can get the electricity from the 3rd pin of RS-232 interface , at
the same time, there is a request sending by 7
th
pin(RTS), 4
th
pin data
terminal prepares(DTR) to help power supplying HXSP-422. The
automatically process control make you need not reset and make a easy
application of the hardware and software installation.

There are two situations about working power supply:
1. It can get the electricity from the 3rd pin of RS -232 connector, at the same
time, there is a request sending by 7
th
pin (RTS), 4
th
pin data terminal
prepares (DTR) to help power supplying HXSP -422.
2. When the RS-232 cannot power supply, it can be power supply by RS -422

pin (+5~+12V) and 5

Pin (GND).
Installation and Application
1. Installation:
① Prepare four pieces ordinary wire or two pair twisted-pair cable before
installing HXSP-422 products;
② Close the serial port of equipment (turn off the equipment);
③ The RS-232 port of HXSP-422 series converter use DCE method, it can
plug into DB9 Male DTE equipment
directly (e.g. COM port of
computer) ,and get the electricity from TXD 、DTR、RTS signals but please
notice that the SL (signal level) should be higher than +5V，if the equipment
uses the DCE method, it must be connect as below:

2. Application
1) The communication of RS-232 equipment and RS-422 equipment
This method is mainly used for control -side equipment connector is RS -232c ,
and the connector of equipment under control is RS-422 ,The two side can not
communicate directly because of disaccord of two side electrical specialty ,
HXSP-422 series converter can be used for transparent change the RS-232
signals to RS-422 signals.
2) RS-422 Network Application
A RS-232 Host will control more tha n 32 units RS-422 equipment, use this
method, in order to avoid signal reflex and interfering signal, it should be add
the matched resistance on the terminal circuit ( 120Ω, 1/4 w)
