5 and 6 show examples of connecting the port pins of the console and the equipment.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a console connection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The console connection device of FIG. 4 includes a console connection unit 10, an equipment connection unit 20, a branch unit 30, and a connection unit 40.

The console connector 10 is a connector that is physically connected to the serial cable port (console port) 2 connected to the console (eg, PC) 1 owned by the field operator. At this time, the console connector 10 may be provided with eight connection pins for transmitting and receiving signals with the console 1 according to the RJ45 standard.

The equipment connection 20 is a connector that is physically connected to the serial cable port (DB9 connector) 4 connected to the equipment (eg, communication equipment) 3 for controlling using the console 1. At this time, the equipment connection unit 20 may be provided with nine connection pins for transmitting and receiving signals with the equipment (3) in accordance with the RS-232 standard.

The branch part 30 includes a plurality of sub-connectors 32, 34, 36 connected to some of the connection pins of the console connection part 10 and branched by the pin connection type of the equipment 30. For example, the first sub connector 32 has three connection terminals connected to pins 3, 6, and 4 and 5 of the eight connection pins of the console connector 10, and the second sub connector 34 ) Has three connection terminals connected to pin 6, pin 5 and pin 3. In addition, the third sub connector 36 has three connection terminals connected to pins 2, 3 and 5, respectively. That is, the first sub connector 32 has connection terminals branched to correspond to the console port pin output structure of FIG. 1, and the second sub connector 34 is branched to correspond to the console port pin output structure of FIG. 3. Have terminals. The third sub connector 36 has connection terminals branched to correspond to the console port pin output structure of FIG. 2.

The connection part 40 electrically connects any one of the terminal connectors 32, 34, and 36 of the branch part 30 to the equipment connection part 20. For example, the connection part 40 rotates the knob in a rotary manner as shown in FIG. 4 to connect the connection terminals of any one of the sub connectors 32, 34, and 36 to the second and third pins of the equipment connection part 20. Electrically connect pins and pin 5.

Referring to the operation of the console connection device of the present invention having the above-described configuration in more detail through the following embodiments.

First, the worker who is dispatched to the site connects the console port (2) connected to the console (1) to the console connection (10) of the console connector and connects the serial cable port (4) connected to the device (3) to the console connector. It is connected to the connecting portion 20.

At this time, the pin type of the DB9 connector of the equipment (3) installed in the field is, for example, pin 2, pin 3 and pin 5 are the Tx (transmit) pin, Rx (receive) pin and GND as shown in FIG. (Ground) pin, but the operator does not know this, the operator first rotates the handle of the connection part 40 toward the first sub connector 32 of the branch part 30, and then adjusts the console 1 to the console of FIG. Outputs the signal corresponding to the port pin output structure. That is, the Rx, Tx, and GND signals are output to pins 2, 3, and 5 of the console connection unit 10, respectively.

However, when the connection part 40 is connected to the first sub connector 32, pin 2 of the equipment connection part 20 is connected to the console connection part (1) through the connection terminal of the first sub connector 32 as shown in FIG. 5. Pin 3 of 10), pin 3 is connected to pin 6 of the cone connector 10 through the connecting terminal of the first sub connector 32, and pin 5 is the first sub connector 32. It is connected to pins 4 and 5 of the cone connector 10 through the connection terminal of. Thus, the console 1 and the equipment 3 cannot normally send and receive signals.

Accordingly, the operator rotates the handle of the connection part 40 toward the second sub connector 34 of the branch part 30 and adjusts the console 1 so as to correspond to the console port pin output structure of FIG. 3. Output That is, the GND, Tx, and Rx signals are output to pins 3, 5, and 6 of the console connection unit 10, respectively.

When the connection part 40 is connected to the second sub connector 34, pin 2 of the equipment connection part 20 is connected to the console connection part 10 through the connection terminal of the second sub connector 34 as shown in FIG. 6. Pin 6), and pin 3 is connected to pin 5 of the cone connector 10 through the connection terminal of the second sub connector 34, and pin 5 is connected to the pin of the second sub connector 34. It is connected to pin 3 of the cone connector 10 through the connection terminal. Thus, the console 1 and the equipment 3 can normally send and receive signals, and the operator can test the equipment 3 using the console 1 in that state.

If the pin type of the DB9 connector of the equipment (3) installed in the field is pin 2, pin 3 and pin 5 respectively Rx pin, Tx pin and GND pin as shown in FIG. The switch 1) may be turned to the first sub connector 32 to allow the console 1 and the equipment 3 to normally exchange signals. In addition, when the pin type of the DB9 connector of the equipment (3) installed in the field is pin 2, pin 3 and pin 5 Rx pin, Tx pin and GND pin, respectively, as shown in FIG. ), The console 1 and the equipment 3 can normally exchange signals.
