#169078 - some more thought...Per Westermark Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Hi Per Westermark,

And what do you think happens with the signals, when you connect two transmitters together? Per Westermark said:
Parallel the 2 TX lines of the 8051's together and also the RX lines of the 8051's together.
Now treat them as 1 port to the PC with appropriate buffering etc. I think Tony Gelonese had meant; was to short the TX pins of both micros to each other and connect that pin to TransmitterINPUT pin of MAX232....I think this is workable. Per Westermark said: This will not be a problem if you have protocol such as Modbus (where PC is the Master), or even simple protocol that you use for RS485 multidrop networks.
Don't you think the PC will have a hard time hearing any messages sent from one of the two 8051 chips? |
