COMM conflict between Intelliflo VS Pump and Screenlogic2

The Pentair multiplex board is nothing more then a connection panel that maintains the proper balance for RS-485 when splicing and interconnecting cables.

Calling that a "Multiplexer" is a little like calling me Superman..

Sounds like it was named by the marketing department...

Hey just saw the thread... glad you got it sorted.

Those serial expansion boards are a rip off! A few of use have boot-legged our own, mine cost about $4...

Can you provide a parts list for that?

Hey Allen, sorry for the delay...

The board is a "veroboard" strip board... I'm pretty sure I got mine from Futurlec (years ago!), but they've still got them

Stripboard - Small

Small Stripboard for Building and Testing Electronic Circuits

The terminal blocks are Riacon Metz Connect 4-position, 5mm spacing

Mouser and Digikey should have the parts as well. I've also got a standard 4-position, 0.1" spacing header at the end, and a 2-pos Metz Connect part (I don't use these often).

Here's the back... stupid simple to solder up with as many extra ports as you like. The screw posts were from my junk bin.
