1 Introduction 1.1 What is CYMOD? CYMOD is a series of data acquisition modules. It provides a total solution of the data acquisition network and control system. You can remotely control up to 256 CYMOD modules on RS-485 netowrk. All you need is to use a host computer, like a liPC (Personal Computer), with one RS-232 serial port for controlling the whole system. The maximum communication distance is 4000 feet from the host computer.
1.2 Outstanding Features of CYMOD l Industry standard networking All CYMOD modules use the RS-485 communication protocol for transmitting and receiving at high rates and over long distance. l Two-wire and multi-drop communication A single twisted pair of wires is used to transmit and receive data between modules. Multi-drop capability makes system configuration more flexible and makes it easy to set up a network. l High transfer speed CYMOD modules provide up to 115.
l Harsh environmental protection A surface coating covers on the PCB and electronic components of the CYMOD. It allows superior resistance to harsh environment such as humidity, salt spray and most harsh chemicals. 1.3 CYMOD 4000 Series products overview The CYMOD 4000 series provides the complete sets of data acquisition modules, including communication modules, analog input modules, analog output modules, and digital I/O modules.

The standard RS-485 can operate at speed up to 10 M bps over cable length up to 4000 feet.
1.6 CYMOD RS-485 Network Configurations CYMOD 400 Series is designed under RS-485 multi -drop network architecture. Up to 256 CYMOD modules can be controlled in a multi -drop network. The limit of 256 is due to command code. The network can be connected by simple topology (Figure 1-1) or branch topology (Figure 1-2) or free topology (Figure 1-3). The CM 4520 and CM 4510 are the two basic communication modules to construct a RS-485 network. The CM 4520 is a RS-232 to RS-485/RS-422 converter.
CM 4520: RS -232 to RS-485/RS-422 Converter CM 4530: USB to RS-232/RS485/RS-422 Converter.
CM 4520: RS -232 to RS-485/RS-422 Converter CM 4530: USB to CYMOD Modules RS-232/RS485/RS-422 Converter.
1.7 Constructing a CYMOD Network 1. Set up a CM 4520 or CM 4530. 2. Connect the host computer with the CM 4520 or CM 4530. 3. Set up one or more CM 4510 if necessary. 4. Connect the CM 4510 to extend to RS-485 bus if necessary. 5. Install the CYMOD utility software or CM 4530 driver from disk. 6. Initialize the brand-new CYMOD modules. 7. Add the new CYMOD modules into RS-485 network. Refer to chapter 2 and chapter 4 for executing step 1 and 2. Refer to chapter 3 for executing step 3.
1.9. Shielding In case of increased interference, shielded bus cables are recommended for both intra and inter-module wiring . In addition, shielding should also be employed for power supply and signal cables. Shielding Recommendations: 1. The shield should be connected with protective grounding at each bus connection. 2. The shield should be applied several times along the course of the cable. 3. The shield should be applied directly to the computer, or to separate shield rails.
1.10. How to Calculate Checksum Value Format of CYMOD Commands (LeadingCode)(Addr)(Command)(Data)[Checksum] When checksum is enable then [Checksum] is needed, it is 2 -character.
2 CYMOD 4520 2.1. Overview What is CYMOD 6520 ? CYMOD 4520 is a RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 converter, it converts the RS-232 signal to the RS-422/RS-485 signals. The CM 4520 can be considered an extension RS-422/RS-485 serial port for the host computer. A standard 9-pin D-type connector is used to connect the host computer and the CM 4520. Hence, the CM 4520 can connect with all kinds of PCs, IPCs or Notebook PCs, which employ a standard RS-232 interface.

The host computer can command only one CYMOD module.
(Leading Code) (Addr) (Command Variable) [Data] [Checksum] <> Leading Code is the first character of the CYMOD command. All CYMOD commands need a command leading code, such as %,$,#,@,...etc. 1- character Module’s address ID, the value is in the range of 00 - FF (Hexadecimal) if no specified in the following. 2- character Items indicate command codes or value of variables. Variable length Some output commands need data. Variable length Checksum in brackets indicates an optional parameter.
Response of CYMOD Commands The response message depends on CYMOD command. The response is also composed with several characteristics, including leading code, variables, and carriage return for ending. There are two kinds of leading code for response message: ”!“ or ”>“ means valid command, and ”?“ means invalid. By checking the response messages, a user can monitor device status. Note : Under the following conditions, there will be no response message. 1. The specified address ID does not exist. 2.
