PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Patton Model 2013 Asynchronous RS-232 to TDI Interface
Converter lets you connect an RS-232 DTE device (PC, ATM terminal,
teller terminal, etc.) to a Two-wire Direct Interface (TDI) Line Driver
such as a Burroughs (Unisys) A,V or B Series Mainframe. Requiring
no user configuration, the Model 2013 is also compatible with Unisys
B20, B25 and B27 micros. The Model 2013 is transparent to baud rate
and supports TDI distances to 1000 feet. Distances to 100’ are possi-
ble on the RS-232 side of the unit.
The Model 2013 needs no AC power or batteries for operation,
drawing necessary operating power from pin 20 of the RS-232 DTE
interface. Full duplex emulation is accomplished using DTE pin 6 and
8, while pins 4 and 5 are looped back internally. The Model 2013 is
equipped with a female DB-25 on the RS-232 side and a male DB-25
on the TDI side. One LED indicator on each side shows received data.
The Model 2013 supports up to 10 terminal drops in a polling environ-
ment. 12
MODEL 2013 INSTALLATION
The Patton Model 2013 is easy to install and requires no user con-
figuration. Simply plug the Model 2013’s DB-25 female connector
directly into the DB-25 serial port of your PC or other DTE device.
Then connect the TDI device to the DB-25 male connector on the
Model 2013 using a straight through serial cable. Below are the inter-
face signal/pin requirements for the Model 2013:
RS-232 DTE 2013 (RS-232) 2013 (TDI) TDI Device
1 --------------------1 FG FG 1--------------1
2 --------------------2 TD Data 2--------------2
3 --------------------3 RD SG 7--------------7
4 --------------------4 RTS
5 --------------------5 CTS
6 --------------------6 DSR
8 --------------------8 DCD
20 ------------------20 DTR [>/= 6.2V DC (unloaded) required]*
Please note the following requirements and/or limitations when
installing the Model 2013:
1) Nearly all TDI equipment falls under the category of “line driv-
ers” or “line receivers”. The Model 2013 is a line
receiver
, and may
only be connected to line
driver
, such as a Burroughs CPU line
adapter. Connection of the Model 2013 to another line receiver, such
as a modem or T27 terminal, is not possible.
*2) Successful operation of the Model 2013 requires that your RS-
232 DTE device supply >/= 6.2V DC (unloaded) or >/= 6.8V DC
(loaded) on pin 20 . RS-232 TD/RD levels must be between +/- 15V
DC and +/- 3V DC. The TDI line driver must also supply 0V (ground)
and -12V (data) levels.
3) The Maximum loading for the Model 2013 is one RS-232
device. Up to 10 Model 2013’s may be connected to one TDI line driv-
er in a multi-point polling environment.
4) If you must connect the Model 2013 to your RS-232 device
using a cable, the cable should be no longer than 100 ft. The distance
between the Model 2013 and the TDI line driver should be no greater
than 1000 ft.
