1.1 Description 1.1.1 PCI Bus The PCI Bus is a high-performance bus that provides a processor-independent data path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals. PCI is a robust inter-connect mechanism designed specifically to accommodate multiple high performance peripherals for series communication, SCSI, LAN, etc. Advantech serial communication card leverages the “Plug and Play” capability defined in the PCI 2.1/2.2 bus specification.
1.3.1 Bus Interface The following table indicates models that three of bus specifications are compliant for.

This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper. 2.3.1 How to Set Jumpers Figure 2.13 How to Set Jumpers 2.3.2 Default Settings The board is shipped with default settings. If you need to change these settings, however, see the following sections. Otherwise, you can simply install the card. Table 2.
2.3.2.1 PCI-1603 The board will be shipped in the RS-232 mode, passive Rx and active Tx. On the 10*2 pin jumper groups (JP2 & JP4)— A, B, C, D and E are set to RS-232 transmission mode. On the 6*2 pin jumper groups (JP3 & JP5)—C, D and E are set to passive Rx and active Tx. They are the card default settings. A B C D E F G H B C D E F I J JP2 & JP4 A JP3 & JP5 Figure 2.14 PCI-1603 Default Settings 2.3.3 Mode Selection by Jumper/DIP Settings 2.3.3.
2.3.3.3 RS-422/485 Selection (for PCI-1601A/B/1602/1602UP) You can set each port individually for either RS-422 (the default) or RS-485 operation.See section 2.2 “Jumper and Switch Locations” for help to locate the jumpers. RS-422 RS-485 Figure 2.17 RS-422/485 Selection by Jumper Setting 2.3.3.4 PCI-1603 RS-232/Current-loop Mode Selection For RS-232 mode operations, the jumpers will be set as the default mode. The jumpers on the 10*2 pin jumper must be set to A, B, C, D and E.
Then decide which mode the Tx and Rx will operate in. The options are active or passive. In the active mode, the Tx or Rx will generate the current requirement for data transfer over the link. In the passive mode, the current is generated by the card at the other end of the link. A and B are set to be active Rx, and E is set to be active Tx. Figure 2.20 Active Mode Jumper Setting C and D are set to be passive Rx, and F is set to be passive Tx. Figure 2.
Especially in fields with serious electric noise, installing terminal resistors is helpful to stabilize communications. Make sure that both sides of the RS-485 communication ports are installed on BUS. See details in Chapter 5.2.2 and 5.2.3. 120Ω 300Ω 300Ω Figure 2.23 Resistor Selection (for PCI-1602 and PCIe-1622 series) 2.

Chapter 4 ICOM Tools 4
4.1 Introduction Advantech ICOM Tools is a convenient utility that has been designed to help you test the performance of ICOM cards through analyzing the port status. It features an easy to use graphical user interface that will soon make you familiar with testing via menu commands and toolbar buttons. Advantech ICOM Tools is applicable to all series of Advantech ICOM cards, and can even be used with other third-party ICOM cards.
Using the Tool Bar buttons is a more intuitive way to implement the functions of ICOM Tools. Chapter 4 4.3.

5.2 Wiring 5.2.1 5.2.1 RS-232 Signal Wiring Since the RS-232 interface is not strictly defined, many devices have their own connection methods which may ignore some signal lines or define reserved lines for other functions. It is best to refer to the user’s manual for your device for installation instructions. You may find the following helpful. In general, DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) refers to the device that is leading the communication. Examples include PC’s, terminals and some printers.
Table 5.20: Terminal without Handshake DB-25 Male Terminal, PC (DTE) Signal Pin Signal 2 TxD 3 RxD 3 RxD 2 TxD 4 5 RTS CTS 7 GND 7 GND 6 20 8 DSR DTR DCD Therefore, if you are not using CTS, RTS, DSR,DTR and DCD signals, short pins 4 and 5 together, and please short pins 6, 8,and 20 together. 5.2.2 RS-422 Signal Wiring The RS-422 interface wiring is based on one-to-one principles. The transmit lines on one side connect to the receive lines on the other side, and vice versa.
5.2.3 RS-485 Signal Wiring The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This means that just two wires are needed to both transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals (such as RTS, Request To Send) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow and to switch the transmission accordingly. In RS-485 mode, the PCI-1601/1602/ 1611/1612/1622 cards automatically sense the direction of the data flow and switch the transmission direction — no handshaking is necessary.
