Remote Keypad - Controller Board
Keypad Processor PCB (Use your mouse to point to and identify features) Develec's Remote Data Capture Unit can be supplied as a Printed Circuit Board for OEM system integration. You can install the PCB into your existing systems or equipment.
Printed Circuit Board
The PCB is a glass fibre, double-sided, through-hole plated board. Particular care was taken in routing the PCB to ensure that there are no 90 degree corners and no vias. This boosts the PCB's reliability. Use your mouse to identify PCB features.
The main controller PCB is 82mm by 102mm. Four 3mm mounting holes are provided on 76mm x 94mm centres. The highest components (IDC ribbon connectors with strain relief) are 25mm.
Connections
Three types of connectors are used:
  • Molex 2-pin Header for an external buzzer
  • ICD (Ribbon Cable) connectors for the Keypad, Expansion Port and the LCD Display.
  • Phoenix Contact Connector Blocks with wire cages for all other connections.
Network and Power
Two four-way connector blocks are provided for network connection. The 'incoming' cable is connected to the one connector block and the 'outgoing' cable is connected to the other connector block.
All connections on the two connectors are electrically connected, on board, to the corresponding connections on the other connector. RS485 is a bussed network standard and a continuous connection is required from end-to-end.
A termination jumper is provided on the PCB as both ends of the RS485 network should be terminated. The required termination resistance is 120 ohms and only the devices at each end of the network should be terminated. Shorting the terminator jumper connects an on-board 120 ohm resistor across the two network data lines. Thus it is unnecessary to supply an external terminator. NB Ensure that ONLY the two devices at the extreme ends of the network are terminated.
VIN Red +12V DC Power
NET + Yellow RS485 Data (+) - Twisted Pair
NET - Green RS485 Data (-) - Twisted Pair

RS Receive Data Input (RS232 or TTL Jumper Selectable)
GND Ground
LCD Port
Develec supplies the LCD Display (4 lines of 20 characters - backlit) with a ribbon cable that plugs into this port. If you need to use a custom display, please contact us.
Keypad Port
This port is designed to accept the ribbon cable connection to the keypad. Should you have any custom keypad requirements, please contact us.
Expansion Port
This cable is designed to accept the ribbon cable from any custom expansion devices. Should you need to add any custom designed devices, please contact us.
Buzzer Connector
A 5V or a 12 V buzzer can be attached to this connector.
