DUAL PORT RS-232↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE 2. Introduction 2.1 Overview If you need to operate RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 devices from your PC, use the Dual Port RS-232/422/485 Serial Interface. Connect to any device that uses the RS-232 interface, such as modems, data-entry terminals, and plotters. This card allows you to configure two RS-232 ports, two RS-422/485 ports, or one of each. The Dual Port RS-232/422/485 also features greater maximum distance and allows multi-drop communications. Th

DUAL PORT RS-232↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE 2.4 Technical Description The Dual Port RS-232/422/485 Serial Interface utilizes the same 16550 UART ® chip found in the IBM asynchronous adapter. This chip features programmable baud rate, data format, and interrupt control. Refer to the IBM Technical Reference for details on programming the chip. RS-232 The Dual Port RS-232/422/485 Serial Interface meets the RS-232C specifications and provides an asynchronous serial I/O port. This is the ® standard

CHAPTER 2: Introduction RS-485 RS-485 is backward-compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for multidrop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable of being active (enabled) or tri-state (disabled). This capability allows multiple ports to be connected in a multidrop bus and selectively polled. Half-duplex two-wire communications are possible by connecting TX+ to RX+ and TX- to RX- in your cable connector. The enable to the driver is connected to the UART Request To Sen

DUAL PORT RS-232↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE 3. Address Selection NOTE Be sure to set the address selections and jumper options before installation. Each serial port on the Dual Port RS-232/422/485 Serial Interface occupies 8 consecutive I/O locations. DIP switch SW1 sets the base address for Port 1, and DIP switch SW2 sets the address for Port 2. Be careful when selecting the base address, since some selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows several examples that usua

CHAPTER 4: Option Selection 4. Option Selection NOTE Be sure to set the address selections and jumper options before installation. The board contains several jumper straps for each port which must be set for proper operation. 4.1 Port Enable/Disable Each port on the Dual Port RS-232/422/485 can be enabled or disabled with switch position 8 on the DIP switch. The port is enabled with the switch ON (or closed) and disabled when OFF (or open). If any port is disabled, be sure to also disable the

Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the same IRQ setting, and setting the appropriate selections at E9 and E10. Consult your particular software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper. NOTE IRQ 2 on AT class machines is not available. IRQ 9 is substituted in place of IRQ 2. To select IRQ 9, pla

CHAPTER 4: Option Selection Figure 4-2. Headers E9 and E10 in Normal Mode. Set jumpers to “N” for single interrupt mode. This setting is the normal setting for most applications. Set jumpers to “S” for shared interrupt mode for all ports sharing an IRQ except one. Set that port block for “M.” This provides the pull-down resistor circuit that makes sharing of IRQ’s possible.

A 100-ohm resistor is across each RS-422/485 input, and a 1K-ohm pull-up/pull-down combination biases the receiver inputs. If more than two RS-485 nodes are configured in a multidrop network, only the nodes at each end of the bus should have the 100-ohm resistors installed. 11 A B C
