Sąranka ir diegimas
The MDB to RS232 adapter is designed for straightforward connection to MDB devices and serial port boards. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Nurodykite komponentus: Ensure you have the main MDB to RS232 converter unit, the necessary MDB cables, and an RS232 serial communication cable.
- Connect MDB Devices: Connect your MDB devices (e.g., coin acceptors, coin changers, cashless devices) to the MDB input ports on the converter. The converter supports various MDB devices, including those with device codes 08H (coin machine), 30H (invoice validator), 10H (cashless device), 60H (cashless device 2), and 40H (device).
- Prisijungimas prie pagrindinės sistemos: Connect the RS232 output of the converter to the serial port of your host system (PC, PLC, etc.) using a standard serial communication cable.
- Maitinimo jungtis: Connect the power supply to the converter. Ensure the supply voltage is within the normal range of 24-34 VDC (or 24-30 VAC), with a minimum of 20 VDC.
- Patikrinkite ryšius: Dar kartą patikrinkite visas kabelių jungtis, kad įsitikintumėte, jog jos yra tvirtos ir tinkamai pritvirtintos.
The MDB to RS232 converter automatically communicates and manages MDB devices, sending valid MDB data to the host computer via the serial port. This reduces the complexity of host program design.
Naudojimo instrukcijos
Once the converter is set up, it operates largely autonomously. Here's how data flow and control work:
- Automatic Data Transmission: The converter does not require the host to conduct survey queries. It automatically communicates with and manages MDB devices, forwarding valid MDB data to the host system via the serial port.
- Host Control Commands: When the host system sends control or configuration commands to the MDB to RS232 box, these commands should directly follow the MDB protocol. The converter will receive these instructions, forward them to the MDB device, and then relay the device's response back to the host.
- Real-time Payment Data: Upon receiving real-time payment data from an MDB device, the converter immediately sends it to the host via the MDB-RS232.
- Įrenginio identifikavimas: To differentiate between data from various MDB devices, a device code is added before the data. For exampLe:
30 xxrepresents data from an acceptor (e.g., bill validator).08 xxrepresents data from a currency changer (e.g., coin changer).
08 09, it indicates that the currency changer is in a disabled state. - Duomenų formatas: Data sent by the MDB box to the computer is in hexadecimal format. Refer to MDB V3.0 or MDB V4.0 instruction protocols for specific instruction meanings.
Priežiūra
The MDB to RS232 Converter is designed for low maintenance. Adhere to the following guidelines to ensure its continued reliable operation:
- Laikyti švarų: Reguliariai valykite įrenginio išorę minkštu, sausu skudurėliu. Venkite naudoti stiprias chemines medžiagas ar abrazyvinius valiklius.
- Aplinkos sąlygos: Operate the converter within a stable environment, avoiding extreme temperatures, high humidity, or dusty conditions.
- Kabelio vientisumas: Periodically inspect all connected cables for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Replace damaged cables immediately.

Trikčių šalinimas
If you encounter issues with your MDB to RS232 Converter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Nėra duomenų perdavimo:
- Patikrinkite galią: Ensure the converter is properly powered and receiving the correct voltage.
- Patikrinkite kabelius: Verify that all MDB and RS232 cables are securely connected to both the converter and the respective devices/host.
- Serijinio prievado nustatymai: Confirm that the host system's serial port settings (Baud Rate: 9600, Start Bit: 1, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1) match the converter's specifications.
- MDB Device Status: Ensure the connected MDB devices are operational and not in a disabled state.
- Incorrect Data Received:
- Protokolo neatitikimas: Verify that your host system's software is interpreting the MDB protocol correctly (refer to MDB V3.0 or V4.0 instruction protocols).
- Įrenginio ID: Ensure your software correctly parses the device ID byte (e.g.,
30 xxfor acceptor,08 xxfor changer) to identify the source of the data.
- Converter Not Recognized by Host:
- Vairuotojo problemos: For USB versions, ensure the necessary USB drivers are installed on your host system.
- Uosto pasirinkimas: Confirm that your application is attempting to communicate with the correct serial (COM) port.
