P_ED1000
FOR FUTURE PLUGINS - NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
ED1000 is a technique to connect a teletype to a central office with 2 wires. A Frequency-Shift-Keying (FSK) is used to send and receive simultaniously. It is like a MODEM (V.21) but with different carrier frequencies.
Type | Definition |
---|---|
A | Central Office, Switching Exchange, EDS, (PC Sound Card) |
B | Terminal Station, Teletype |
Type 'B' is the normal configuration for a teletype. Some teletypes can be configured as type 'A' to be connected directly to another teletype.
SEU | Direction | Frq A (space, 0) |
Frq Z (mark, 1) |
Level | U rms * | U peak * |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | Send | 500Hz | 700Hz | -14.5dBm | 0.146V | 0.206V |
A | Receive | 2250Hz | 3150Hz | ≥-34.0dBm | ≥0.015V | ≥0.022V |
B | Send | 2250Hz | 3150Hz | -9.0dBm | 0.275V | 0.389V |
B | Receive | 500Hz | 700Hz | ≥-28.5dBm | ≥0.029V | ≥0.041V |
*: at termination of 600Ohm
Seeing the lower frequencies as a bit value '0' and the higher as '1', the bit values can be used as from a TTL async. serial adapter.
Distance | Conductor Diameter |
---|---|
20km | 0.8mm |
14km | 0.6mm |
10km | 0.4mm |
Direction | Frequency Band | Loss |
---|---|---|
A → B | 600Hz ± 100Hz | 14dB |
B → A | 2700Hz ± 450Hz | 25dB |
It is common for ED1000 system to use an ADo8 plug.
Pin | Description |
---|---|
1 | Line a |
2 | nc |
3 | nc |
4 | Line b |
5 | Bridge to 6 |
6 | Bridge to 5 |
7 | nc / Paper-End-Switch |
8 | nc / Paper-End-Switch |
The line wires are used to send and receive at the same time like a MODEM on phone wires.
The bridge between pin 5 and 6 is for signaling a connected plug. May be high voltages can be used by teletype to detect the bridge!
Some teletypes use a switch (relay) on pin 7 and 8 to signal paper end.

For signaling Z (logical 1) a high frequency is used (700Hz, 3150Hz). For signaling A (logical 0) a lower frequency is used (500Hz, 2250Hz). Both frequencies have the same amplitude.

In frequency domain ...

For sending a character the transmitter switches between the corresponding frequency with the giver baud rate.
