Mike’s politically incorrect eConnections newsletter
Most company “newsletters” are dry as bone dust and
full of cheesy promos. Right? You delete them just as
soon as they show up in your mailbox. Big Yawn. Mine is
nothing like that.
Hi, my name is Mike Fahrion, and every few weeks I dish
out practical tips for getting all those pieces of equipment
in your care to talk to each other. We give out special
freebies too—like specialized reports and tech guides, to
make your job easier.
WARNING: If I’m tweaked about something, you’ll hear
about that, too—if the occasional poke at our own Dilbert
lifestyle offends you, or if you’re waving a flag for Michael
Jackson—well, you might want to skip this one.
Sign up today to get the next issue. We respect your
privacy and intensely dislike SPAMMERS as much as you

VESR Industrial Series
If it has a serial port and you have an Ethernet LAN or WAN, you can
keep it in top tune with serial servers. Your control room PC will show
the device as if it had a direct connection to monitor. Keep it at
maximum production without leaving your desk. Even troubleshoot it
from outside your LAN via the Internet.
Vlinx Manager software
Vlinx Manager software puts access to your whole shop on your desk.
Configure devices, upgrade firmware and monitor activity. The Monitor
port feature allows you to use any PC on the LAN/WAN to actively view
and troubleshoot the network and connected devices. It displays traffic
the status of the connected hardware.
Web server
Serial servers can be accessed and configured from any web browser
(such as Internet Explorer) on the LAN/WAN. This allows you to
remotely manage the software and your serial device. It also supports
off-site troubleshooting.
Heartbeat connection protection keeps you online
If there is a communication halt, the serial server will attempt to
reconnect every five seconds until a connection is regained. Without
this convenient feature, a device that loses a connection and stops
communicating would not be able to reconnect without a person
attending to the problem.

Field Application:
Remote Employee Access at Distribution Center
Bill is the security manager at a large distribution center. His facility uses a card-swipe system
to control employee access. Recently, the company expanded a parking lot and added an
additional pedestrian turnstile entry point. The trouble is, the card readers use serial data to
communicate with a PC on the security network and this entry point was too far away.
Ethernet
Luckily, Bill just received B&B Electronics catalogue, featuring the VESR90x Serial-to-
Ethernet Servers with fiber optic network connections. Since his fence-line motion sensors
were networked with multi-mode fiber optics, he simply piggy backed on this network to
connect the new turnstile to the main PC. The VESR series is also designed for industrial
applications and feature easy DIN rail mounting, multiple serial port options, and web-based
management. Thanks to B&B Electronics, the facility is secure and Bill can breathe easy.

Wind Farms are gaining attention as an energy source that requires no fuel, produces no pollution, and is virtually
inexhaustible. Wind turbines are linked together for operation and energy monitoring. This poses a unique set of
challenges since the layout of a wind farm can span across large distances. Keeping the data protected while
communicating between wind turbines, and also communicating from the base to the top of each, can be achieved
through fiber optic Ethernet connections. Check out the B&B Electronics full line of Ethernet switches, paying close
attention to the 8-port versions with 3 fiber ports. Simply put, 3 fiber ports protect In, Out and Up communications
in the wind farm application.

Gigabit
B&B Electronics’ line of unmanaged (EIR400 series) and managed (EIR600 series) Ethernet switches address applications
requiring Gigabit (1000Base) Ethernet. All of these switches are DIN or panel mountable and accommodate two power inputs
along with an Alarm Relay Output. The –T models are wide temperature rated at -40 to 75ºC. For added flexibility and future
expansion options, many models support a dual function port, where the copper Ethernet and SFP ports are shared. The wide
range power input on these models makes each switch suitable for a variety of applications.
PoE (IEEE 802.3af)-EIRP models only
PoE stands for Power-over-Ethernet, which is just what it says. Power is transmitted over the Ethernet cable along with the data
lines. Each PoE switch has a set of ports that is classified as power source equipment (PSE). These ports can be used to power
IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices (PD), eliminating the need for a separate power line to be run to each end device. A
whole new set of applications become feasible with PoE switches due to reduced installation costs through ease of setup and
the ability to remotely power end devices. Some common Ethernet devices that a PoE may be able to power are: Access Points,
IP Cameras, Serial Servers, and Ethernet I/O. The PoE ports on these switches follow Alternative A standards and are limited to
15.4 Watts of power output per port. These switches require a 48VDC power supply.

EIR102-xT
Application
EIR102-xT-xC
Applications
SCADA • Warehousing • Traffic control • Point-of-Sale • Industrial automation • Building automation
Specifications
• 10 to 48 VDC power input with removable terminal blocks
• Multi-mode or single-mode models, with ST or SC connectors
• Dip switch control for:
• 10/100 Mbps data rates (auto or forced)
Media converters allow two Ethernet devices with different
physical media to communicate with each other. In most
applications the media converter converts a copper Ethernet
connection to fiber media. The fiber media could be multimode
or single-mode fiber and usually consists of an ST or SC
style connector. Some common reasons for using media
converters are Ethernet extension, noise immunity, and
protection against surges and spikes.
Have you ever needed to convert your multi-mode fiber into
single-mode fiber due to equipment upgrades or pre-existing
• Full or half-duplex (auto or forced)
• Link-fault-pass-through (enabled or disabled)
• Snooping mode (store and forward or forward all packets)
fiber runs? Or have you simply needed to extend Ethernet
beyond its normal capabilities? B&B Electronics also offers
media converters with fiber-to-fiber conversions. This is
extremely handy for retrofit applications with existing fiber
where new equipment uses an opposite fiber type.
You may even find that some new applications require a
mixture of single-mode and multi-mode fiber due to
equipment used or budgetary reasons. Choose from many
in-stock port combinations – or configure and price your port
needs online.

Extend Ethernet distances
Media converters do more than just convert copper Ethernet signals to fiber. They allow the Ethernet LAN to be extended
beyond the normal 100 meter limit. By using a pair of media converters, LANs can be extended up to 2km with multi-mode
fiber and up to 20km with single-mode fiber. Extension of LAN distances now make it possible to communicate with remotely
located Ethernet enabled devices that were not formerly possible to reach in the past. The application could be as simple as
getting data from one end of the warehouse to the other, tying two buildings together, enabling communications in a tank
farm, or monitoring a SCADA system at a waste water plant.
Isolate and protect
Another great benefit inherently built into a media converter is the isolation factor. Since the data is communicating via a fiber
optic connection, the data is transmitted by light – therefore no conductive wires connect the far ends of the system. This
eliminates the potential for ground loop problems and offers additional protection from RFI/EMI interference that may be present
along the cable run.
Choose between rugged DIN rail mount or desk/wall/rack mount designs
From rugged DIN rail mount designs to traditional desk/wall/rack mount designs B&B Electronics has a media converter that will
fit your application needs. Besides the EIR-x-xx and EIS-x-xx models found on these pages, B&B Electronics also offers the EIR102
series. If you are looking for the most robust features in a DIN rail or panel-mount design, the EIR-x-xx series is the product for
you. For applications not requiring wide temperature ranges or built-in alarms, the EIS-x-xx series is the logical choice. The
EIR102 series offers the most flexible port options in a high-feature, DIN rail design.

Overview
The Elinx EIR500 and EIR600 series Industrial Managed
Ethernet Switches provide powerful functionality in an IP30
DIN mount package. Designed for industrial applications,
these switches contain all the standard features of other
switches, such at IGMP Snooping, Port Based VLAN, 802.1Q
Tag VLAN, auto MDI/MDI-X, auto negotiation, store and
forward switching, STP, RSTP, Web Based Management, Ingress
Packet Filtering, and Egress Rate Control.
Specifications
• Conforms to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 802.3u 100Base-TX
• RJ-45 port supports auto MDI/MDI-X function
• Wide-range redundant power design on most models
• DIN rail and wall panel mount design
• Store-and-Forward switching architecture
• 4 priority queues per port
• Port based VLAN / 802.1 Q Tag VLAN
• IGMP with Query mode for multi media application
• Supports DHCP client
• Supports ingress packet filter and egress rate limit
• Relay alarm output for system events
Web-based Management
Each switch has an embedded HTML web site residing in flash
memory, offering advanced management features and allows
users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network
through a standard web browser.
VLAN Configuration
A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that limits
the broadcast domain. This allows you to isolate network traffic
so that members of a VLAN will only receive traffic from other
members of the same VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a switch is
the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of network
devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, since it is a virtual
network, the network devices remain connected to the same
switch physically. Both port-based and 802.1Q (tagged-based)
VLAN are supported.
These managed switches also come with important industrial
features to ensure reliability in an industrial application.
Redundant Ring Technology with coupling ring and dual
homing allows automatic recovery in less than 20ms for EIR600
series and less than 300ms for EIR500 series. Dual power inputs
ensure reliability. A alarm output for port failure notification. If
GIGABIT Ethernet is required, choose a product from the
EIR600 series.
• Reverse polarity protection on power inputs
• Port mirror for TX only
• IEEE 802.3x flow control
• Flow control on full-duplex
• Back pressure on half-duplex
• Redundant ring recovery time
• Less than 20ms for EIR600 series
• Less than 300ms for EIR500 series
• Simple Network Time protocol (SNTP)
• IP security for management functions
• TFTP firmware update and system configuration restore and backup
• SNMP, Web management, RMON supported
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring is a method for monitoring traffic in switched
networks. Packets transmitted and received by a port can be
mirrored to another specified port. This allows network
administrators to monitor traffic.
IGMP
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a
communications protocol used to manage the membership of
Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts to
establish multicast group memberships. This allows the port to
detect IGMP query and report packets and manage IP
multicast traffic through the switch.

Field Application: Electrical Substations…
A power company in the mountainous terrain uses Ethernet switches from B&B Electronics to remotely monitor and manage
hard-to-reach substations. No need to send a maintenance electrician out every time something needs to be reprogrammed.
Ethernet
Electricity - we don’t think about it until it's missing. An electrical power substation uses transformers to “step down”
high voltages from the transmission grid to lower levels for distribution to homes and businesses. A bus splits
electricity to distribution lines. Circuit breakers and switches can disconnect it from the transmission grid or the
distribution lines for maintenance, or because of fault conditions such as lighting, overloads, or equipment damage.
These power faults must be identified and resolved quickly in order to restore power - and profit.

Redundant Ring
These industrial switches
incorporate a proprietary
redundant ring protocol that
helps your network recover from
connection failures within 20ms
for EIR600 series and 300ms for
EIR500 series. The redundant ring
algorithm is much like the
spanning tree protocol (STP)
algorithm but it has a much faster
recovery time.
• Dual Homing prevents loss of
connectivity between the
redundant ring and the upper
level switch.
• Coupling Ring connects two
redundant rings together to
create additional redundancy.

USB – Universal Serial Bus
A convenient and reliable way to combine
your new PC and legacy equipment
Converters
Hubs
USB supports high data rates, plug-and-play connections, noise
immunity, and “hot swappability” providing an easy connection
to a wide variety of multimedia and network USB devices.
But what if you still have good equipment designed to use
RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial communications? How can
you monitor and control it from a modern USB equipped PC?
B&B Electronics has your answer - converters, adapters, cards,
hubs, surge protectors, boosters and isolators that connect
your USB PC to your legacy equipment so you can use both to
your greatest advantage.
Universal Serial Bus is a serial protocol and physical layer link.
Data is transmitted differentially on one pair of wires, providing
relatively good noise immunity. Another pair carries DC power
to downstream devices, allowing many low power devices to
be bus powered.
Specifications
• Typical Data Rates: 12 Mbps (USB 1.1); 480 Mbps (USB 2.0)
• Max Distance: 5 meters
• Cabling Requirements: Standardised peripheral cable
• Connectors: Type A upstream, Type B downstream
Pros
• Plug-and-play connectivity
• Hot swapping
• High data rates
• Noise immunity
• Available on most newer PCs
Cons
• 5 meters maximum distance
• Not always isolated
• Not often available on industrial/commercial devices
• Lack of locking connectors

Locked Serial Numbers Explained
B&B Electronics offers one-port USB to serial products in two formats. The standard (original) format offers
each unit as Serialised - each individual product has a unique serial number. The second format uses the
same serial number for all units of the same model type - Locked Serial Numbers. Why do we offer both?
Different applications demand different functionality.

The industrial bus traditionally was used to allow a
central computer to communicate with field devices. As
the cost of computing went down, the industrial bus
allowed computers to communicate with each other to
coordinate industrial production.
Industrial buses cover a large area. Often different areas of
the network are supplied by different power sources. Even
though all of the sources are grounded, a voltage difference
can exist between the grounds of these voltage sources.
This voltage difference can upset the data line in an RS-
422/485 bus by pushing the signal voltage out of range
and, in some cases, excess voltage can damage equipment.
Another source of excess voltage potential can be caused
by intermittent sources. Power line surges and lightning
are causes of this type of disturbance, but other causes,
such as large electric motors starting and stopping, can
temporarily affect the ground reference voltage.
B&B Electronics product recommendations
The solution to this problem is to use RS-422/485 devices
that provide isolation between different parts of the network.
Two popular industrial buses that use the RS-232 and
RS-422/485 standards are Modbus and Data Highway/DH-485.
Modbus can be configured for either RS-232 or RS-485 in a
4-wire mode. (Note: Modbus Plus is not RS-232 or RS-485
compatible). DH-485 is the name of the industrial bus produced
by Allen-Bradley and is used on some SLC 500 controllers.
RS-485 is also available on some PLC-2, 3 and 5
controllers. The industrial buses that adhere to the RS-232
and RS-422/485 standards are listed below along with
products compatible with them. Our products support
these buses at the physical layer and are often used as
repeaters, line extenders and isolators. We also offer a
custom design service to solve particular problems that
arise from industrial buses.

Kelly: The Benefits of Send Data Control (SDC)
As operating systems become more complex, it is increasingly difficult to control an RS-485 driver with standard
software and the RTS line. This is especially true in Windows and multi-tasking operating systems. With B&B’s
Automatic Send Data Control circuit, driver control is in the converter hardware, so you don’t have to work
with software at all. The circuit monitors data flow and enables the driver during transmission and automatically
disables it when no data is being sent. There is no need to rework software or install new drivers. Most
B&B Electronics RS-232 to RS-485 converters and RS-485 serial cards include Automatic Send Data Control.

RS-232 Line Repeaters
Amplify weak RS-232 signals
Double the range of your RS-232 data signal. Repeaters may be
daisy-chained for extra range. Many computers, laptops, and some
desktops ship with low-power ports that are unable to drive portpowered
devices or full-length RS-232 cabling. Repeaters amplify
these weak signals up to the RS-232 standard. Model 232LB9R is a
9-pin version, boosting all eight signal lines and carrying ground
through. Model 232LB2 is a 25-pin version, boosting TD (Transmit

Loune: Extend data signals with signal repeaters
The standards for RS-232 data communication call for a maximum range of 15 m (50 feet) and the RS-422/485 standards call for 1200 m
(4,000 feet) maximum. While these standard maximums can sometimes be stretched, the more positive method of using serial
communications over longer distances is the installation of repeaters at intervals in the data line. Repeaters refresh the data signals by
regenerating the signal. Repeaters allow another 15-30 m of range for RS-232 lines, and 1,200 m for each repeater added to an RS-422
or RS-485 line. RS-485 repeaters divide the load into multiple segments and each “refreshed” signal is capable of driving another 1,200
m of cable and 31 more RS-485 nodes. Models 485OPB, 485OPDR, and 485OPDRi isolate and repeat RS-422 and RS-485 signals. See

signals can’t traverse reliably, due to distance, marginal
conductors or electrical noise. Model 232CLDR interfaces
RS-232 to the most common current loop ports, 20mA with
open circuit voltages.
Contact B&B Electronics technical support for information on
loop currents and voltages. Maximum baud rate for current
loop converters is 19.2 kbps. The transmit loop and receive
loop each can be operated as active or passive. Requires
external power supply that is not included.

Current loop devices use current on or current off to transmit
binary digits. B&B Electronics converters interface RS-232 and
RS-422/485 systems to the most common current loop ports,
20 mA ports with open circuit voltages up to 30 V. Many
models can be modified for higher loop currents and voltages.
Call B&B’s toll-free Technical Support Department for details:
+353 91 792444.
High speed optical isolators couple and isolate transmit and
receive data. All B&B Electronics current loop converters have a
transmit (T+ and T-) and a receive (R+ and R-) loop. Each loop
may be operated as an active or passive loop. When the
converter needs to provide the loop current, a 12 VDC power
supply is required for the current loop side. Maximum baud
rate recommended for current loop converters is 19.2 kbps. Models
232CL9R and 232CL4R are port powered RS-232 to current loop
converters. No external power required for passive loop installations.
A power supply is required to generate an active loop.

CAN in industrial automation
The multi-layer structure of Controller Area Network (CAN)
allows any station on a serial bus to communicate with any
other station. There are also benefits in central control and selfdiagnosis
and correction of transmission errors. A number of
CAN-based higher level protocols have been developed for use
in industrial automation applications. CAN Application Layer
(CAL), CAN Kingdom, CAN-open, DeviceNet and Smart
Distributed System are just a few of these variations.
CAN repeater boosts signal, increases number of nodes.
• Extend the node capacity of your CAN network
• Optical isolation to 2000 VDC. Stops surges and spikes
• DIN rail mount
• Terminal block connections
Optical isolation stops surges Model CANOP extends the node
capacity of your CAN systems and protects your CAN network
from component killing surges and transients. Model CANOP is
an optically isolated CAN repeater that provides 2000 VDC of
optical isolation, allowing you to separate and protect critical
segments of your system from the rest of the CAN network.
The sturdy DIN rail mount case is 9.3 x 8.6 x 3.6 cm (4.0 x 3.4
x 1.4 in). A 10 to 30 VDC power source is required.
232BRC

Fiber optic cable offers natural resistance to EMI/RFI noise and
surges that commonly interfere with electrical networks on
factory floors and in industrial environments. Model CANFB
converts CAN signals from copper to fiber and from fiber to
copper. To connect two CAN devices with fiber optic cable, two
Model CANFB converters are required. Copper connections are
terminal block. Fiber connectors are standard ST connectors.

RS-232 Baud Rate Converter &
Parallel-to-Serial Port Converter
Convert Data Rates, Formats, Handshaking; Printer Ports
Different data rates, formats and handshaking?
No problem with this baud rate converter!
Many older devices lack the option to reconfigure baud rate,
data format and handshaking. Model 232BRC acts as a
translator between asynchronous devices, matching each
device’s needs while maintaining the highest possible
throughput. Each side can be individually configured to suit the
device connected to it. The module supports any data rate up
to 115.2 kbps and all standard data formats.
Each side can also supply or accept hardware or software
handshaking, allowing the higher speed device to be located on
either port. A PC is used to configure the Model 232BRC, but once
configured, the module may be installed on any system. Nonvolatile
memory maintains all parameters when power is removed.
Each port buffers 16K bytes of data. LED indicators on each port
signals when data is present in the buffer. The connectors are DB9
female on port A, DB9 male on port B. Model 232BRC requires 12
VDC @ 100 mA. A power supply is available. Module dimensions
are 14.6 x 9.1 x 3.0 cm (5.8 x 3.6 x 1.2 in).
Change a serial port to a parallel port or vice versa.
• Port-powered
• Easy installation
• Works with existing software
• Operates as parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel converter
• Baud rates up to 115.2 kbps
• 96-byte buffer prevents data loss
• Dimensions: 10.9 x 4.3 x 2.0 cm (4.3 x 1.7 x 0.8 in)
The Model 232SPS2 converts data from a parallel port to a serial
communication format, or from a serial port to a parallel
communication format. Connects directly between computer
and printer without making software modifications. The serial
port has a female DB25 connector and supports X-On/X-Off
control as well as hardware handshaking. It supports standard
baud rates from 1200 to 115.2 kbps, and Acknowledge, Busy,
and Strobe on the parallel port. 8-position dipswitch configures
the 232SPS2 to match system. Can be port-powered using DTR
and RTS on the serial port or powered externally using 7 to 18
VDC. A power supply is available.

Joe: How to connect up to 17 devices to one serial port
B&B Electronics’ smart switches can be used to connect one RS-232 port to four or more different serial devices. These
switches can be controlled in two different ways.
The first way is “smart switch mode.” In this mode, the switch is controlled by sending a preamble (usually three
characters) to the master port. As soon as the preamble code is received, the selected slave port is connected to the
master port.
The second way the switch can be controlled is “port combiner mode.” In this mode, a slave port can access the master
port by asserting a handshake line. If none of the slave ports have their handshake line asserted, the switch can be controlled
using the preamble codes. There is no delay through non-buffered switches. LEDs indicate which port is selected.

What about the ISA bus?
Need serial cards for the ISA bus? We’re happy to say that B&B Electronics continues to stock and support ISA cards (to be honest,
some of us even feel an emotional attachment to these cards). To see our full line of multi-interface and isolated ISA cards click
over to www.bb-europe.com
What are universal PCI cards?
In the days of yore, the PCI bus used 5 V signaling on the PCI
connector. Some PCI buses, including many of today’s newest
PC’s use 3.3 V signaling. A keyed notch in the card prevents it
from being plugged into the wrong version of the bus. If you
buy a 5 V PCI card, it won’t fit into a 3.3 V bus, and a 3.3 V
PCI card won’t fit into a 5 V bus. A situation fraught with peril
for the casual customer! Not to worry, all of the PCI cards in
the following pages follow the Universal PCI specification,
officially termed PCI V2.3. As you might guess, Universal PCI
is compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems. To tell if
your card is Universal PCI, look for two keyed notches in the
bus connector, indicating that it will fit (and work!) in any
PCI system.
Multi-interface PCI (page 55)
You’ll find that B&B Electronics’ MIport family of PCI cards has the flexibility to fit any system. Two,
four and eight port versions feature RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 capability!
Optically isolated multi-interface PCI (page 55)
These optically isolated members of the MIport family of PCI cards are robust enough for the
toughest and most mission-critical environments. One, two and four port versions offer the
flexibility of RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485!
PCMCIA (page 56)
Add serial or parallel ports to your laptop for mobile and field service applications. One, two and
four ports are available in both RS-232 and RS-422/485 versions. Rugged versions featuring a
permanently attached cable are also available.
ExpressCards (page 56)
ExpressCards add 1 to 2 high-speed serial ports (RS-232 or RS-422/485) or 1 parallel port to
notebooks and other mobile devices. High throughput and low latency is comparable to
native, built-in COM ports.

Janet: Isolation zones explained
Isolated serial card design requires attention to three things. Special optocouplers isolate the serial signals
from the PCI bus. Unique isolated DC-to-DC power supplies provide power to each of the ports and give
us port-to-port isolation. Finally, the circuit board
uses strict spacing rules – we call these isolation
Isolation zones on the 3PCIOU2
zones. Surges follow the path of least resistance, and
a tiny gap between traces is an easy path for surges
to reach the delicate computer bus, bypassing
expensive isolation components entirely.
You’ll find wide isolation zones on B&B Electronics’
isolated PCI cards. If you’re buying boards from
someone else, hold them up to the light and check for these isolation zones, you
might not be getting the protection that you’re paying for.

Cards
ExpressCards are another great way to add serial and parallel ports
to notebooks and other portable devices. Traditionally this has
been done with a USB or PCMCIA interface. However, many
portables no longer ship with a PCMCIA slot available. One
advantage to using ExpressCard technology over USB is that the
added ports more closely emulate those of built-in ports. In other
words, higher throughput and lower latency is commonly better
with ExpressCards based on PCIe designs. These ExpressCards are
designed in 34mm format which means they will fit into any
ExpressCard slot.

barriers, opening a new world of remote
communication solutions. Reliable, on-demand
communication with control and monitoring down to
an individual embedded machine-level sensor is now
possible with wireless networking.
As wireless network equipment emerges, interest and
demand in using wireless in industrial environments has
surged. Yet, understanding the technical aspects of
various wireless technologies and standards is essential
in choosing suitable equipment for your application.
Selecting the right equipment will lead to a successfully
installed, well-designed, reliable and efficient

Field Application:
Major backhoe manufacturer implements wireless technology…
As wireless technology becomes more accepted, data acquisition and simple control applications have been
the first to convert from wired formats. The cost of wired systems continues to increase as copper prices
and US labor rates escalate. By contrast, installation cost savings, reliability, and security make wireless a
viable option. All these factors are helping wireless penetrate the industrial market with numerous wireless
technologies emerging including proprietary RF, cellular, WIFI, WIMAX and more.
Wireless
A well-established, world-wide manufacturer of “green” agricultural, commercial & consumer,
construction & forestry equipment recently implemented wireless products from B&B Electronics.
In the company’s backhoe assembly plant, the assembly line is managed by a group of Automated
Guide Vehicles (AGVs) which tug the backhoe assembly units along from station to station until
completion. The AGVs have internal intelligence to help them follow a magnetic path in the concrete
floor. Unfortunately, since the AGV is mobile, there was no communication from the AGV to the PLC
that controls the many overall manufacturing processes. Because of this inherent flaw, quality control
processes and build times were suffering.
The Quality Control process was limited to station-to-station control. Manufacturing times were
elevated to allow time for persons to walk around the plant and inspect the work in a “bigger
picture” context. In addition, the manufacturing process is very serial in that all of the AGVs follow
the same path from station-to-station. Because of this, without knowing when any given station was
complete, an approaching AGV could run into an AGV still at the station.
With the installation of wireless proprietary RF from B&B Electronics, the AGVs are now managed by
the plant PLC and the overall manufacturing process is maintained by a single remote group ensuring
overall QC of the product. For the first stage, the addition of 4 pushbuttons (wirelessly connected to
the control PLC) allows the AGV to communicate with the master PLC. These pushbuttons represent
the status of manufacturing progress and QC progress. In the second stage, internal alarm status and
control of the AGV is integrated into the wireless communication topology.
In summary, initially, the company’s AGV manufacturing process could not allow wired connections
to achieve necessary results. By adding wireless monitoring and control with Zlinx Wireless products
from B&B Electronics, the QC process was vastly improved and manufacturing lead times were
reduced. More backhoes, less backlog!

Field Application:
Your asphalt is a major asset…
Al had just repaved his parking lot, when management
announced that a production line would have to move to
the other side. On top of that, the machines need to share
data with his production control office. Al faced the choice
of tearing up the parking lot and spending a bundle for
trenching and cabling – or calling B&B Electronics. We set
him up with a Zlinx wireless system that saved his asphalt.
Tough problem – solved!

NEW! Water Well Monitoring System
Wireless Monitoring of Water Level, Flow, PH and more
Water treatment is one of the largest growing markets in the
world. As the US population continues to increase, new water
wells are critical. In addition, chemical injection points are
constantly being added to existing water systems to safeguard
our most valuable asset from dangerous chemicals.
At B&B Electronics, we recognise the importance of this market
and have developed an application kit and product line that
will help maximize your ROI and the efficiency of your water
wells and injection points.
As seen, with a B&B Electronics Zlinx wireless product and
simple, off-the-shelf components, you can turn your manual
application into a highly efficient monitoring and control
application. Instead of your technicians going out of their way
to monitor a well or injection point, they can be more useful
with their time. Once you master the immediate basics of well
monitoring and control, Zlinx I/O is expandable for future
additions to monitor and control such as pH, ORP, conductivity,
temperature, flow and many, many more. The Zlinx system is
even expandable to utilising a cellular gateway to provide all of
your information via cell phone and internet. Imagine receiving
a text message when your system is in trouble!

Automate Gauging Your Tank Levels!
As the world continues to demand more fuel consumption, oil
and gas companies are trying to make the supply chain as
efficient as possible. One of the simplest applications to solve is
automating the tank gauging process in a fuel terminal. In many
cases, technicians are still chartered with manually gauging tank
levels for inventory purposes. This gauging includes safety
processes, and more importantly, time.
Level Sensoring
EKI-6311G
The challenging part of the application is that all equipment needs
to have Class 1 Division 2 approvals. The good news is that Zlinx
radio modems, designed and manufactured by B&B Electronics,
are now Class 1 Div 2 approved. This wireless technology with
off-the-shelf components helps solve tank gauging problems. With

Remote I/O
Data Acquisition
Analog and Digital Remote I/O
Data Acquisition Systems, by definition are designed to gather and
store data. However, this has led many plant managers and
engineers to spend substantial money on systems that do just that
- gather data - but are good for little else. In reality, data
acquisition is not the purpose of DAQ systems - obtaining Mission
Critical Information (MCI), is. Industrial plants, manufacturers, and
producers do not need to simply know the temperature, pressure,
or production volume of any given piece of equipment in their
plant; they need to know what that data means and how it relates
to their operations. Data acquisition modules from B&B Electronics
handle a broad range of analog and digital remote I/O and deliver
that data over serial, Ethernet, USB or wireless connections.
Compact, low cost modules fit a variety of applications to monitor
sensors and control processes or equipment.

Digital I/O Sometimes referred to as discrete I/O, these input and
output types are much easier for a micro-processor-based DAQ
system to use since they are already a binary signal. Digital I/O
uses voltage level changes from high to low (or vice versa).

Sinking & Sourcing: When choosing a Digital I/O module, it is
important to have an understanding of these terms. A sinking
device provides a path for the current to ground and is not
responsible for powering the device. Terms used to describe sinking
devices include NPN, Open Collector, and Normally High. A
sourcing device provides the power or a positive potential. Sourcing
devices ‘push’ the current through the load. Terms used to describe
sourcing devices include PNP, Open Emitter, and Normally Low.
B&B Electronics’ Zlinx modules with “NA” or “NB” in model
numbers feature Sourcing digital outputs. Zlinx modules with “NC”
or “ND” within model numbers feature Sinking digital outputs.
When selecting digital I/O, know that not all manufacturers
define sinking and sourcing the same way. In general, Sinking/
Sourcing describes a current signal flow relationship between
field input/output devices in a control system and their power
supply. Sourcing I/O modules supply (or source) current to
sinking field devices. Sinking I/O modules receive (or sink)
current from sourcing field devices. However, always consult
your device’s manual to determine required I/O.
Counter inputs might be used to count the rotations of a motor. As
the name implies, successive pulses increment a counter. Using this
information, a frequency or pulse rate can readily be determined.
Counters are characterised by their number of bits. In an X-bit
counter, the maximum number of counts is equal to 2 raised to
the X power. Example: a 16-bit counter can count up to 2 to the
16th power or 65,536.
www.bb-europe.com
Relays: A relay is a device in which power applied to a coil or input
terminal causes the path between contacts open or close. These
contacts are designed for interrupting and applying power to
larger loads (i.e., integral horsepower motors) and significant
resistance loads (i.e., lighting and heaters). Relays outputs come in
several variations:
Form A – Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Open
Form B – Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Closed
Form C – Single Pole, Double Throw, Break-before-make
Analog I/O: Digital computers have replaced analog recording and
display technologies in all but the simplest data acquisition
applications. However, these computers speak only the binary
language of ones and zeroes. Manufacturing processes and natural
phenomena, however, are still analog by their very nature. To be
manipulated by a computer, analog measurements such as
pressure, temperature, or flow rate, must be translated into a
digital equivalent.
Analog I/O
Current - Voltage - Resolution - Temperature
Voltage: Common voltage signals used in the controls industry are
1-5 VDC, 2-10 VDC, 3-15 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC and 0-15 VDC.
Current: The 4-20 mA signal is the industry standard current signal
for use with analog and digital controllers. A variation of the 4-20
mA signal is 0-20 mA.
Resolution: ADC devices are defined by the resolution, ranging
from 8-bit to 32-bit. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the
higher your rate of accuracy and data integrity. But it also means
your costs will be higher. Because of this, it is essential to calculate
exactly what your sampling rates will really be and balance that
within budget. Further information on data sampling, including
how to calculate your resolution needs, can be found in our paper,
“The Fine Art of Analog Signal Sampling.”
+353 91 792444

Data Acquisition – Analog and Digital Remote I/O
Temperature: Temperature inputs come in two variations,
Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) or Thermocouple.
RTD: Simply put, an RTD is sensor used to measure temperature by
correlating an elements resistance with temperature. RTD elements
consist of a length of fine wire coiled around a ceramic or glass core.
The wire is made of a pure material with a defined resistance.
Platinum is the most popular and accurate. Copper is also used in
some instances. A Pt100 sensor has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C
and is by far the most common type of RTD sensor. A Pt1000 has
1000 ohms resistance at 0°C. Copper RTD’s are usually built at 10
ohms (CU10). Because of this low resistance, measured temperatures
spans must be large to get an adequate signal. Therefore, CU10 RTD
use is limited to devices such as motors or transformers.
2-Wire RTD - The lowest cost method is to keep the signal
conditioner close enough to the sensor so the copper wire
resistance change does not introduce an excessive error in the
measurement.
3-Wire RTD - Lead compensation with 3 wires requires 2
conductors attached to one end of the RTD and a single conductor
on the other end. This method requires the 3 lead wires to track
each other in resistance change versus ambient temperature. It is
effective for a total copper lead resistance equal to about 10% of
the RTD value. The error introduced increases proportionally as the
lead wire length increases.
Analog Signals
Level – the analog level gives important information,
such as the intensity of a light source, pressure in a
chamber, or temperature in room.
5V
4-Wire RTD - A 4 wire input provides the most accurate
measurement. Excitation current flows through 2 wires and the
other 2 wires are used to measure the voltage across the RTD. The
wire leads have no influence on the accuracy of the measurement.
Thermocouple: Based on the principle that when two dissimilar
metals are joined, a predictable voltage will be generated that
relates to the difference in temperature between the measuring
junction and the reference junction (connection to the measuring
device). The selection of the optimum thermocouple type (metals
used in their construction) is based on application temperature,
atmosphere, required length of service, accuracy and cost.
Thermocouple Type Temperature Range Temperature Range
IEC Colour Code (Short Term) (Continuous)
E – Purple -400 to +900°C 0 to +800°C
J – Black -180 to +800°C 0 to +700°C
K – Green -180 to +1300°C 0 to +100°C
T – Brown -250 to +400°C -185 to +300°C
Frequency – Analog signals can be characterised by their frequency.
When frequency is important, acquisition speed must be considered.

Shape – the shape of an analog signal can be as important as the level. By measuring
the shape, the DC value, peak, and slope can be determined. This is of particular
interest when the value changes rapidly. Sounds and vibration are some applications.

ON
State – The state of a digital signal is essentially the level of
the signal [on or off, hi or low]. A common application is
monitoring the condition of a switch [open or closed].

Rate – The rate of a digital signal is determined by measuring how it changes state with respect
to time. A common application is determining how fast a motor shaft spins. Unlike Analog
Frequency, digital rate measures how often a signal occurs and an algorithm in not required.

We started with an RS-232 tester, the first product designed
and built by B&B Electronics, and we’ve never stopped.
After, almost 30 years, we’re still designing and
manufacturing standard and custom products for customers
around the world. From board design to manufacturing, we
are certified in industrial standards from IPC, and we

Case Study: A company specializing in petroleum
distribution recently contacted B&B Electronics Custom
Design Department. They needed a switch as part of a
larger system to bring efficiencies to their fuel delivery
routes. The system automatically monitors petroleum
inventories and sends notification when tank levels in the
field are low so fuel trucks are dispatched only when
necessary.
A B&B Electronics custom design engineer recommended a
modification of our four-port mini smart switch, Model
232MSS2. The end product design for the customer was
electrically identical to our standard product, but added
specifications that met the customer’s needs.

Modules
The ADAM series modules are compact, versatile sensor-tocomputer
interface units designed specifically for reliable
operation in harsh environments. Their built-in microprocessors,
encased in rugged industrial grade plastic, independently
provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O and digital
I/O via RS-485 serial or Ethernet communications.
Remotely programmable input ranges
The ADAM series modules stand out because of their ability to
accommodate multiple types and ranges of input. The type and
range can be remotely selected by issuing commands from a
host computer. One type of module satisfies many different
tasks, which greatly simplifies design and maintenance. A single
kind of module can handle the measurement needs of a whole
plant. Since all the modules are remotely configured by the host
computer, physical adjustments are unnecessary.
Watchdog timer inside
A watchdog timer supervisory function will automatically reset
the ADAM series modules if required, which reduces the need for
maintenance.
Modular industrial design
The ADAM series modules offer flexible mounting options,
including DIN rail mounting, panel mounting or piggybacking.
Signal connections are made through plug-in screw terminal
blocks, ensuring simple installation, modification and
maintenance.
Ready for the industrial environment
The ADAM series modules accept any unregulated power
source between 10 and 30 VDC. They are protected from
accidental power supply reversals and can be safely connected
or disconnected without disturbing a running network.

Features, Benefits and Functions
• Current limiting design provides fast short circuit interruption that
reduces the let-through energy which can damage the circuit.
• Thermal magnetic overcurrent protection: Two levels, categorised
by B and D curves in direct relation to continuous rating of device
• B Curve – 3 to 5 X rated current – Suited for applications where
maximum protection is required for control circuits from low level
short circuit faults that could damage the wiring.
• D Curve – 10 to 20 X rated current – Provides a magnetic range
to allow for higher inrush levels during startup that are usually
seen with motors, transformers and other high inductive systems
• 480 VAC up to 130 VDC
• IP20 finger protection
• Colour coded status indicator window – red = ON, or green = OFF
• Cable direct into terminal utilising ring tung connector
• 35 mm DIN rail mountable, utilising “extra strength” spring clip

DIN Rail Dataline Surge Suppressor Model HESP4DR protects
against lightning strikes, power surges, and other voltage
disturbances common to DIN rail components. Five
RS-422/485 signals on terminal blocks are supported with a
clamping voltage of 6.8 Volts. HESP4DR has three stages of
protection: 1) gas discharge tube, 2) series resistor and, 3)
Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS). The HESP4DR has a #10
grounding screw providing a solid earth ground connection.
Heavy duty, 3-Stage Surge Protectors Meet IEEE 1000-4-5:
1995 and IEEE C62.41-1991 recognised standards for top
quality surge protectors. Heavy duty units meet these
specifications with three stage protection for maximum safety: a
gas discharge tube feeds to a series resistor and a TVS (Transient
Voltage Suppressor) for each supported data line. Protected
signal ground connection and dedicated chassis ground lug.

Cabling
Structured cabling systems
Cabling standards for LANs such as Ethernet are defined by
EIA/TIA 568 and ISO11801 for both copper and fiber cabling
plans and are usually referred to as a Structured Cabling
System (SCS). Simply put, the standards under EIA/TIA and
ISO11801 provide a series of requirements for the physical
layout of the cabling plan and performance and testing
criteria, providing a “structure” so that known performance
can be expected when plugging in your network equipment.
Properly followed, it is the intent of these standards that the
SCS will provide a useful life of 10 or more years.
Some of the critical yet practical requirements of these
standards include maximum horizontal cable runs of no longer
than 90 meters, patch cords not to exceed 5 meters each and
10 meters combined, specific construction of horizontal cable
such as 4 pairs UTP and STP of no less than 24 AWG and
performance criteria defined as Cat 5e and Cat 6.
Both Cat 5e and Cat 6 are capable of supporting networking
speeds up to 1 Gigabit/second. For industrial applications Cat
5e is recommended and will meet virtually all needs now and
in the future. Patch cords can be of either solid or stranded
construction, with stranded cable providing improved
flexibility. Currently under development are standards for
industrialised versions of copper connectivity offering more
robust interfaces to higher vibration, shock, environmental
conditions such as IEC IP67 ratings.
These standards also apply to fiber cabling, both Single Mode
(SM) and Multi Mode (MM). There are many variations of
fiber, but the prime advantages offered by either fiber type
include noise immunity, longer distances and higher
bandwidth capabilities. MM cables can extend from 220
meters up to 550 meters. SM fiber cables can extend up to
40km and beyond! For most industrial applications MM fiber
is recommended as the more cost effective solution while still
getting most of the benefits of fiber.
Industrial Ethernet connectors, cord sets (pages 104-105)
Safely extend your Ethernet links beyond the office with industrial Ethernet IP67 rated connectors and
cord sets. They withstand the most rugged conditions.
Category 5 cables (page 106)
Applications with custom pin-outs are a snap with our wide variety of modular jacks. B&B Electronics
also has a large selection of Ethernet patch cords in a wide variety of lengths and colours.
Serial communications cables (page 107)
For the ever-popular RS-232 communication devices, you will find the right cable. DB9 or DB25
connectors are the most common. Straight through cables, null modem cables, and gender changers
can be found here.
USB cables (page 107)
USB cables have a maximum length of 5 meters. B&B Electronics offers type A male to type B male
cables and a USB extension cable that has a type A male to type A female configuration.
Fiber optic cables and adapters (pages 108-109)
Fiber optic is a fast-growing communication medium. B&B Electronics offers ST, SC and LC patch cords
along with miscellaneous adapters. Custom lengths of simplex multi-mode fiber are available.

Pass-through receptacles
Use the industrial rated receptacles to get in and out of your
industrial cabinet with confidence that robust and solid
connections are intact. On one side of the receptacle is a bulkhead
pass through with IP67 rated RJ-45 jack connection. On
the other side you have a variety of connection options including
PCBD mount, RJ-45, solder pads and 110 punch-down blocks.
Use the specially designed closure cap, model 67-0300, while
connections are not in use to maintain the IP67 ratings.
Protect data signals against vibration, contaminants, electromagnetic
interference (EMI), wide temperature ranges and
chemicals. The screw-on connectors lock and seal cables in
place. Choose a pre-built cord set, or build your own with the
field attachable connectors. Also make connections in and out
of the industrial cabinet easy with a pass-through receptacle.
For OEM applications use the direct PCB mount receptacles for
sealed and solid connections.

in situations where conditions change and the environment
degrades the signal.
Antenna Type. If at all possible your system’s antennas should be
able to “see” each other. This is not always possible so it’s critical
to select the proper antenna components to keep signal loss or
decrease receive sensitivity. If obstacles are present, you may
consider a higher gain antenna.

to detect and decode a specific radio frequency. Typically this is
measured in dBm - the lower the better. Typical Zlinx products
are approximately -114dBm.
Transmit/Receive Distance. Keep in mind that if you have lots of
transmit power but poor receive sensitivity, bidirectional
communication may be a problem. The type of cable and antenna
used will affect the receive sensitivity and RF output power.
Cable Impedance. It’s important to select a cable that matches
the radio’s impedance. A mismatch will cause the radio link to
become inefficient or may cause damage to the radio.
More is Not Better…
Keeping the above in mind, one of the most important
components in an antenna system is the transmission cable.
The wrong type, wrong impedance, wrong length, etc., and
your system could go south quick. When selecting RF coax
type cable keep cable runs as short as possible. Long cable
runs will cause additional signal loss.
Peer to Peer vs. Peer to Multi-Peer…
When selecting an antenna also keep in mind the type of
system architecture. Simple systems, such as peer-to-peer, can
be easily designed using Yagi antennas on both ends. A multipeer
system, such as a Modbus master to several slave devices,
needs a little more thought. When designing a multi-peer
system the master needs to communicate to all the respective
slave devices. This is typically accomplished by designing an
Cable Type. Selecting the incorrect cable could cause
significant signal loss. A rule of thumb is for every 3db of loss,
your system will lose one half the output power emitted from
the radio. Visit our antenna selection tech paper a helpful
selection guide and more information:
www.bb-europe.com/techpapers.
Obstacles. Obstacles are always a problem. General rule: Try
to avoid them. When placing an antenna, keep in mind that
trees grow, new buildings are constructed. Plan for future
obstructions.
omni-directional antenna on the master and Yagi antennas
pointing at the master antenna.
Antenna Selection…
The same rule applies for the gain of an antenna: for every 3db
of gain, you will double the effective radiated power out of the
respective antenna. A gain of 8.1db using a 100wm radio is
approximately 270mw of output power. (Keep in mind we
have not included any cable or connector losses.)

Aggreko – global leader in temporary power solutions
B&B Electronics – manufacturer of industrial communication products
Aggreko is the world leader in the provision of temporary power
and temperature control rental services. Aggreko operates in over
120 locations across the world with projects in a variety of climate
conditions and locations—from utility grid support and mining
operations to movie sets and even the Olympic games.
Aggreko provides large power installations for deployment in
remotely located, developing regions. A typical power project
installation includes a set of six generators and a transformer
housed in 6 to 12 meter containers. Diesel or gas powered
generators supply 0.5 MW to 1.0 MW power.
Recently, Aggreko incorporated a SCADA control system to
monitor and control the diesel engine sets and monitor various
I/O in generators and transformers. In addition to linking
to engine control systems, each individual generator or
transformer has a fire safety system. These engine and fire
detection controllers use serial interfaces. The system includes
other control components (such as Allen Bradley PLC ® units)
and operates on MODBUS/TCP protocol.
B&B Electronics provides Aggreko with two custom panel
assemblies, incorporating industrial Ethernet serial servers to
convert these serial devices to an Ethernet based SCADA system
and to provide conversion to Modbus/TCP protocol.
Inside each transformer unit is a NEMA-rated panel kit from
B&B Electronics utilising two RS-485 data acquisition modules
for I/O connections, a Modbus Ethernet serial server, power
supply, relays, wiring, etc.
Mounted outside each transformer unit, another NEMA panel is
comprised of an Ethernet unmanaged switch, power
supply/battery charger, two 12V batteries, plus numerous
connectors and Ethernet cable lengths. This panel is connected
to each of the six generator and transformer sets and then
connected back to the SCADA Master. IP67 rated Ethernet
cables run between the transformer and generator units. IP67
Ethernet pass-through receptacles connect the cabling in and
out of the panel enclosures.
In addition to the two panel assemblies, B&B Electronics also
provides Aggreko with various Ethernet serial servers,
managed switches, unmanaged switches, RS-485 and
Ethernet I/O modules.
Of especial interest is the fact that
B&B Electronics new line of Modbus
gateways, the Vlinx MESR series, was
driven by Aggreko’s unique power
application needs. These Modbus Ethernet
gateways offer total fiber networking and
auto detection/reconnection to keep
power systems up and running.
B&B Electronics serves a broad array of
customer interests, including electrical
power utilities, heavy electrical industries, oil and gas suppliers,
medical instrumentation, defense contractors.
Off-the shelf or custom, whether you need one product or an
assembly of data products, B&B Electronics has the technical
expertise and customisation services to make your
communication needs become a reality.
