1- 1 Section 1. Introduction The SDM-SIO4 has four configurable serial RS232 ports which allow it to be connected to intelligent serial sensors, display boards, printers or satellite links. It can also be used in many other applications where the data is transferred in a serial fashion.

Section 1 . Introduction 1- 3 1.2 Specifications 1.2.1 Serial Ports The SDM-SIO4 has four serial ports which can be configured independently to use different serial data formats and baud rates (from 25 to 115,200 baud). These ports are 0-5V logic or ±5V for RS232 and are configured similar to a PC ‘AT’ style DTE serial port.
SDM-SIO4 4-Channel Serial I/O Interface User Guide 1- 4 1.2.2 SDM Port This serial port is to connect to the SDM port of the datalogger, e.g. via C1, C2 and C3 on a CR10X.
Section 1 . Introduction 1- 5 1.2.6 Other Key Features • An internal lithium battery which retains configuration information (estimated life 10 years) • A built-in system watchdog which will reset the processor in the event of a crash caused by transients, etc.
.
2- 1 Section 2. Installation and Hardware Set-Up The SDM - SIO4 is designed to be mounted on an enclosure chassis plate using the two mounting holes in the tabs on the side of the case . Before installation, it is necessary to set up the address of the SDM-SIO4 and also the mode of operation of each serial port.
SDM-SIO4 User Guide 2- 2 2.2 Selecting RS232 or 5V Logic for Each Port The output voltage levels of each serial port can be set to either: • Logic level output: +5V (high) / 0V (low) or • RS232 output: +5V (high) / -5V (low) (compatible with RS232 driver requirements).
Section 2. Installation and Hardware Set-Up 2- 3 • Electrical noise causing possible loss or corruption of serial data. • Electrical noise being transferred back to the datalogger causing errors on analogue measurements. • Long term damage in the form of corrosion caused by current flowing along electro-chemical gradients.
.
3-1 Section 3. Understanding How the SDM-SIO4 Handles Data For simple applications the SDM-SIO4 can be configured and controlled from the datalogger alone, using the datalogger program instruction P113 (CR10X and CR7 dataloggers only). Future developments will include support for other dataloggers.
SDM-SIO4 User Guide 3-2 The hex. number must always be t wo ASCII characters. Control characters can be entered for all commands in a similar way: • ^M is carriage return, ^J line feed etc.
Section 3. Understanding How the SDM- SIO4 Handles Data 3-3 See Section 5 – ‘P rogramming the Datalogger’. Filter Strings These are used to defin e how to filter incoming data from a port into a format the datalogger can use. This is done by having a user-defined filter s tring pre-stored in the battery-backed memory of the SDM-SIO4.
SDM-SIO4 User Guide 3-4 • i[ ] Scan until any ASCII ch aracters entered between the brack ets are encountered. The maximum number of characters bet ween the brackets is 255. Note that this filter does n ot remove the matche d character from the buffer.
