Introduction

The ULTRA SIO-104 is the ultimate single port RS-422/485 serial connection for your PC/104 application.

The ULTRA SIO-104 provides a single field selectable port configurable as RS-422/485 supporting

asynchronous data rates up to 460.8K bps. The ULTRA SIO-104 utilizes the Exar 16C850, which provides

128-byte, transmit and receive FIFOs. These larger buffers allow error free operation even in high-speed

applications. In RS-485 mode the ULTRA SIO-104 offers automatic control of the RS-485 driver enable for

trouble free network master arbitration.

Choose the RS-422 mode for long distance device connections up to 4000ft. where noise immunity and

high data integrity are essential. Select RS-485 and capture data from multiple peripherals in a RS485 multi-

drop network. Up to 31 RS-485 devices can be connected to each port to automate your data collection.

In RS-485 mode, our special auto-enable feature allows the RS485 ports to be viewed by the operating

system as a COM: port. This allows the standard COM: driver to be utilized for RS485 communications.

Our on-board hardware automatically handles the RS-485 driver enable.

Before You Get Started

The highest level of importance used to stress a condition where damage could result to the

product, or the user could suffer serious injury.

Important

The middle level of importance used to highlight information that might not seem obvious or a

situation that could cause the product to fail.

Note

The lowest level of importance used to provide background information, additional tips, or other

Optional Accessories

Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the following items useful with the

ULTRA SIO-104. All items can be purchased from our website (www.sealevel.com) or by calling our sales

team at 864-843-4343.

•CA152 - Terminates the ULTRA SIO-104 10 pin header to a DB9M connector. This termination

provides the Sealevel Systems’ DB9 standard for RS-422/485.

•DB103 - The DB103 is designed to convert a Sealevel DB9 Male connector to a pinout

compatible with AC24AT and AC422AT Opto-22 ISA bus cards. When used with the optional

CA152 cable assembly it allows Optomux devices to be controlled with the ULTRA SIO-104.

•CA190 - When used with the optional CA152 cable assembly it allows connection directly to a

Sony (or compatible) 207M "9 Pin" connector.

Card Setup

The ULTRA SIO-104 contains several jumper straps for each port, which must be set for proper operation.

Address Selection

The ULTRA SIO-104 occupies eight consecutive I/O locations. A DIP-switch is used to set the base address

for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing

ports. The following table shows several examples that typically do not cause a conflict. SW1 sets the I/O

address for the ULTRA SIO-104.

Figure 1 - Address Selection Table

The following illustration shows the correlation between the DIP-switch setting and the address bits used

to determine the base address. In the example below, address 300 is selected as a base. Address 300 in

binary is XX11 0000 0XXX where X = a non-selectable address bit.

Figure 2 - DIP-Switch Illustration

Setting the switch “On” or “Closed” corresponds to a “0” in the address, while leaving it “Off” or

“Open” corresponds to a “1”.

Port Enable / Disable

The port on the ULTRA SIO-104 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” (refer to Figure 2). If the

port is disabled, be sure to also disable the interrupt request for that port by removing the IRQ jumper at

header J2.

IRQ Selection

The ULTRA SIO-104 has an interrupt selection jumper, which should be set prior to use, if an interrupt is

required by your application software. Consult the user manual for the application software being used to

determine the proper setting. Position “R” is provided so that a jumper can be installed that connects a 1K-

Ohm pull-down resistor to the output of a high-impedance tri-state driver which carries the IRQ signal.

Because the IRQ line is driven low only by the pull-down resistor, it is possible for two or more boards to

share the same IRQ signal. Position “R” installed is the default setting and should be left as is unless

multiple cards are sharing a single IRQ. If multiple adapters are sharing a single IRQ, then only one adapter

should have the pull-down resistor (position “R” selected) in the circuit.

The IRQ can be set at jumper J2 for IRQ 2/9, 3-5, 7, 10, 11, 12, or 15. In the following example, the IRQ is set

as IRQ4.

RS-485 Enable Modes

RS-485 is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 requires a tri-state driver that will allow the

electrical presence of the driver to be removed from the line. The driver is in a tri-state or high impedance

condition when this occurs. Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s) must be tri-

stated. The output modem control signal Request To Send (RTS) is typically used to control the state of

the driver. Some communication software packages refer to RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode

transfer.

One of the unique features of the ULTRA SIO-104 is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need

for special software or drivers. This ability is especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2

environments where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. This ability

means that the user can effectively use the ULTRA SIO-104 in an RS-485 application with existing (i.e.

standard RS-232) software drivers.

Header E4 is used to control the RS-485 mode functions for the driver circuit. The selections are:

‘Auto’ enable (silk-screen ‘AT’). The ‘Auto’ enable feature automatically enables/disables the RS-485

interface via on board circuitry.

‘RTS’ enable (silk-screen ‘RT’) The ‘RTS’ mode uses the ‘RTS’ modem control signal to enable the RS-485

interface and provides backward compatibility with existing software products.

‘DTR’ enable (silk-screen ‘DT’) The ‘DTR’ mode uses the ‘DTR’ modem control signal to enable the RS-485

interface, provides backward compatibility with existing software products and with the Oxford

Semiconductor 16C950 RS-485 enable feature.

‘Output One’ enable (silk-screen ‘OP’) This mode uses the ‘OP1’ control signal to enable the RS-485 interface

and provides backward compatibility with existing software products and with the Exar 16C850 RS-485

enable feature.

No Echo’ (silk-screen ‘NE’) of E4 is used to control the RS-485 enable/disable functions for the receiver

circuit and determine the state of the RS-422/485 driver. The RS-485 ‘Echo’ is the result of connecting the

receiver inputs to the transmitter outputs. Every time a character is transmitted; it is also received. This can

be beneficial if the software can handle echoing (i.e. using received characters to throttle the transmitter)

or it can confuse the system if the software does not. To select the ‘No Echo’ mode select silk-screen

position ‘NE’.

Line Termination

Typically, each end of the RS-485 bus must have line-terminating resistors (RS-422 terminates at the receive

end only). A 120-ohm resistor is across each RS-422/485 input in addition to a 1K-ohm pull-up/pull-down

combination that biases the receiver inputs. Header E4 allows customization of this interface to specific

requirements. Each jumper position corresponds to a specific portion of the interface. If multiple ULTRA

SIO-104 adapters are configured in a RS-485 network, only the boards on each end should have jumpers T,

P & P ON. Refer to the following table for each position’s operation:

Name

Function

Adds or removes the 1K ohm pull-down resistor in the RS-422/RS-

485 receiver circuit (Receive data only).

Adds or removes the 1K ohm pull-up resistor in the RS-422/RS-485

receiver circuit (Receive data only).

Adds or removes the 120-ohm termination.

Clock Modes

The ULTRA 530.PCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide by 4

and divide by 1 clocking modes. These modes are selected at Header E8.

To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e. 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K Bps)

place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk-screen DIV4).

Figure 11 - Clocking Mode 'Divide By 4'

To select the maximum data rate (460.8K bps) place the jumper in the divide by 1 (silk-screen DIV1)

position.
