DocumentDocumentiQUBE2® Junction Box/920i Quick-Start Guide This document will guide you through a typical iQUBE2 to 920i installation with the recommended settings. It assumes an 8-cell truck scale is being used with two iQUBE2 CPU boards. NOTE: Load cells or simulators must be connected before following the instructions listed in this document. RS-422 and RS-485 are used interchangeably. TEDS is not supported. Configuration using 920i Establish a Connection 1. Connect the iQUBE2 and the 920i using an RS-422 connection. NOTE: RS-422 is recommended over RS-232 due to the 115,200 baud rate of the iQUBE2, RS-232 has a maximum distance of 10 feet and RS-422 has a maximum distance of 1000 feet at this high baud rate. 2. The table below shows connections needed for RS-422 communications between a host 920i and the iQUBE2. Two-wire half duplex is available on Port 4 of the 920i. 920i Board J10 Connector (Port 4) iQUBE2 J7 Connector RS-422 Signal GND RS-422 A RS-422 B Pin Pin 11 54 65 RS-422 Signal GND1 RS-485 A RS-485 B Table 1. 2-Wire RS-422 Connections for 920i Host 3. Ensure S2 dip switches on the iQUBE2 CPU board are set to 485 (1,2 both set to OFF). See Figure 1 for S2 dip switch location. NOTE: If a change is made to switch position, cycle power on the iQUBE2 while SW1 is switched to CFG, as the switch position is only read on power-up. Once power has been re-applied, place the SW1 in the OFF position.
