| Problem with RS485 |

hai Friends,
I tried to work with RS485 using ex_rs485.c example file. when i simulate circuit using proteus software i don't get send data on my receiver terminal.. i don't know what is error in my circuit and example code(i don't modified any line on ex_rs485.c).. please check my circuit and example code is correct r not..
| Code: |

Code removed.
Reason: Forum rule #10
10. Don't post the CCS example code or drivers, or ask for such code and drivers.

There should be a pullup resistor on one RS485 line, and a pulldown resistor on the other. Set them up so that when the line isn't being driven, the state is idle, i.e. the processors are receiving a high level on RX. When I wire RS485, I use 3 180 ohm resistors, which give about the right 120 impedance to the line and do the pull up/down function as well.
And I'm not understanding the circuit diagram. Why are the two little oscilloscope things connected to pins of the processor, not to any of the communication lines? |

Thanks John,
still my problem not solve. i add pull up and pull down resister on my circuit, then also data not send to receiver microcontroller.. i think my program is hang in below function..
| Code: | void rs485_wait_for_bus(int1 clrwdt)
{
int16 i;
RCV_OFF();
for(i=0; i <= (rs485_wait_time*20); ++i)
{
if(!input(RS485_RX_PIN))
{
i = 0;
}
else
{
delay_us(50);
}
if(clrwdt)
restart_wdt();
}
} |

I can test it and the code on Sunday.
What is your compiler version ? |

Quick comments
1) Proteus is JUNK ! Your program compiles yet there are HUGE errors in the schematic.
If you physically wire up the real parts like the 'schematic'....
Hardware errors include...
NO Vdd, Vss shown for the PIC !
No caps in the crystal oscillator section.
Probable incorrect RS485 bus resistors.
RS485 control pins ( *RE and DE ) can be tied together and controlled by one I/O pin (that's may be how the driver code is cut, would have to see).
Download the MAX487 datasheet, it tells you the correct value of resistors for the 485 bus.
Download the PIC datasheet for the proper crystal caps.
Without seeing you entire code, I can't tell where your program errors are, but the CCS driver does work. |

I spent some more time on it and got it working a little bit more, but
not really working yet. If I spent another 4-6 hours on it, I might be
able to discover the reasons why it doesn't work. But I don't need
to do this project and I've got better things to do with my time. So I'm
not going to work on it anymore. |

As been said, the circuit won't work as sketched. But I don't know, if it's the real circuit. I would assume, that the basic circuit function will be checked first. For the RS485 interface, there's at least a wrong pull-up/pull-down polarity, which can be sufficient to make the application fail. As also said, the resistor values are too low.
I also took a quick look at the RS485 driver provided by CCS and used in the present ex_rs485 application. In my opinion, the handling of the UART interface is strange. I don't believe that it's necessary to switch between a software and a hardware UART driver in operation for a standard RS485 application. I never came across it in various RS485 applications implemented with large choice of uPs. But I assume, that it works, though. |

Thank CCS friends for helping. I got output. Ex_r485.c code is correct.
Thank you lot...  |

| Corrupt MAX487 Proteus Model |
| Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:42 am |

Okz guys the culprit was the proteus max 487 model itself.
The model fails to fulfill the datasheet condition:
http://www.embeddedj.co.th/downloads/sheets/ic/MAX485.pdf See page 10 under heading: Function Table
In receiving, when RE = DE = 0 and If voltage between A-B is zero ( when A-B both are high) RO should be high but the proteus model gives RO low. This causes the the program to stay in this routine forever
| Code: |
void rs485_wait_for_bus(int1 clrwdt)
{
int16 i;
RCV_OFF();
for(i=0; i <= (rs485_wait_time*20); ++i)
{
if(!input(RS485_RX_PIN)) // always true because of bug in proteus model
i = 0;
else
delay_us(50);
if(clrwdt)
restart_wdt();
}
}

I have worked around with this in simulating in full duplex mode using two max487 at each side. |
