Come again? You have the DZ11-C as the 16 line RS232 and the 8 line
current loop. Surely not?
Oh good point! My recollection is A + B => E (EIA) and C + D => F (20 mA), but
could be wrong (in each case the first one is a Unibus board and half-populated
dist panel, the second is a second Unibus board as an upgrade to fill out the
other half, and the third is both for all 16 lines at once). And is the DZ11M
the 8-line EIA FCC version? Is there a FCC cab kit for 20 mA?
Definitely agree that the level conversion should have been done in the
dist panel.
Does anyone know what's inside the hash filter that mounts in the sheet metal
on the back of the 20 mA bulkhead (I forget whether the EIA version has
something similar -- probably)? It just looks like a straight-through Berg
connector, but evidently it's not. I'm figuring it's probably just
feedthrough
caps or something, but can't figure out how to check that or find the value (my
DMM's "capacitance" mode makes a nice random-number generator).
I'd like to make sure my multiport RS232/20mA thingy solves whatever problem
the filters are there for (in cases where it's not plugged directly into a real
H317F which has the filter).
