1 CHAPTER 1: Specifications Protocol — Asynchronous Speed — IC113C: Up to 115.2 Kbps; IC175C: 460.8 kbps and higher Operation — RS-232 or RS-485/422, 2- or 4-wire (individually selectable on each port) Connectors — (2) DB9M Communications Chip — IC113C: 16550 UART; IC175C: 16950 UART MTBF — >150,000 hours MTTR — <0.
2 DUAL POR T RS-232 ↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERF ACE 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.
3 CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2.3 Features Listed below are the special features your Serial Interface offers. • Each port is independently addressable. • Eleven interrupt options, including AT interrupts, for simple integration into existing systems.
4 DUAL POR T RS-232 ↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERF ACE 2.4 T echnical 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.
5 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.
6 DUAL POR T RS-232 ↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERF ACE 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.
7 CHAPTER 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.
8 DUAL POR T RS-232 ↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERF ACE Figure 4-1. Header E1 and E2 (IRQ selection). 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.
9 CHAPTER 4: Option Selection Figure 4-2. Headers E9 and E10 in Nor mal 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.

11 CHAPTER 4: Option Selection Figure 4-4. Headers E3 and E4, RS-485 Enable/Gr ound Selection. 4.4 Line T ermination Typically each end of the RS-422/485 bus must have line-terminating resistors. A 100-ohm resistor is across each RS-422/485 input, and a 1K-ohm pull-up/pull-down combination biases the receiver inputs.
12 DUAL POR T RS-232 ↔ 422/485 SERIAL INTERF ACE The Dual Port RS-232/422/485 can be installed in any of the PC expansion slots, except J8 on the original IBM XT ® and Portable. IMPOR T ANT You MUST set up the operating system BEFORE you physically install the Card.
13 CHAPTER 5: Installation 5.2 Hardware Installation The ISA Card can be installed in any of the PC expansion slots. The Card contains several jumper straps for each port that you must set for proper operation. 1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.
