SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module The SDM-SIO1 Module is designed to allow expansion of the number of serial ports available on a datalogger for communicating with intelligent sensors or driving external displays. 1. Introduction The SDM-SIO1 Module connects to Campbell Scientific dataloggers using the SDM port and communication protocol. It connects to the remote serial device using industry standard hardware that can be set to RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 signal levels.
SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module 2. Specifications 2.1 Supported Data Rates and Protocols Data rates and protocols are set up using the SerialOpen command in CRBasic. The SerialOpen command is discussed elsewhere in this document. Supported data rates 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bits/s Supported modes of operation RS-232 (Full duplex and receive only), RS-485 (Half and full duplex), RS- 422 (Half and full duplex).

SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module There can be up to 15 SDM-SIO1s on a single SDM bus. Each SDM-SIO1 will need to have a unique address before they are powered up. If other equipment is present on the bus, whether it’s an SDM-SIO1 or not, the user needs to insure no addresses are the same. TABLE 3-1. SDM Address Settings Rotary Switch Position SDM Address SerialOpen Command Comm.
SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module When making connections to the datalogger always insure power to the datalogger is switched off and connect the ground (G) connection first. Below is a table showing all the connections on the SDM-SIO1. There are a number of pins that are common within the unit. These are also shown below. TABLE 3-2.
SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module (3) There is a 100R resistor in series with the datalogger’s ground connection. This connection should be used when connecting RS-485 equipment by long wire lengths. It insures both systems have a common ground reference point. See section 3.2 below before connecting. As shown above in Table 3-3 connections 1 to 5 need to be made to the datalogger. SDM connections are made to appropriate logger control ports or to the dedicated SDM port when fitted, e.g. the CR3000.

SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module sends data one-way to the datalogger, run the SDM-SIO1 in “receive only mode” as this does not turn on the output drivers. If using RS-232 mode avoid connecting handshaking lines that are not required. This eliminates 2 mA drain per line for unused lines. 4. Programming the Datalogger The normal Serial port instructions such as SerialOpen and SerialIn are used with the SDM-SIO1.

SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module 4.1.2 SerialClose This will place the SDM-SIO1 unit into shutdown mode where only SDM communications will operate. This means any data coming into the SDM-SIO1 on the RS-232/RS-485 interface will be lost. This is the lowest power mode and for optimum power efficiency the SDM-SIO1 should be placed in this mode whenever possible. 4.1.
SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module 4.1.6 SerialOutBlock No special information. This can also be used to set the general purpose output line (see Appendix A). 4.1.7 SerialInChk This returns the number of characters that have been received by the SDMSIO1 and that are currently held in its buffer (0-2047). In addition it also allows the program to determine the state of the input handshaking line by setting bit 16 of the returned number if the port is high.
SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module Enabling handshaking will increase active current consumption due to the extra RS-232 load. It will not affect sleep current however as the RS-232 chip is disabled (sleep is set by calling the ‘SerialClose’ function). For connection diagrams and further information on using handshaking consult section 3.3 within this manual.

SDM-SIO1 Serial Input/Output Module 5. Firmware Upgrades and Flash Signature Errors 5.1 Upgrading the Firmware Firmware upgrades can be done by connecting it to a PC and using the Campbell Scientific Device Configuration program to load the operating system. (This program can be downloaded free of charge from www.campbellsci.com/downloads). The SDM-SIO1 needs a reliable source of 12 V power connected in the standard way and a cable made similar to that shown in section 3.3.
Appendix A. Using the Handshaking Lines for General Input/Output This Appendix describes how to use the CTS and RTS lines for input and output ports. The I/O pins (pins 8 and 9) can be read or set by the user as required allowing unique protocols to be created, or they can simply be used as flags or enable lines. If the user enables automatic handshaking as discussed earlier then pins 8 and 9 can’t be accessed. A.
Appendix A. Using the Handshaking Lines for General Input/Output ‘IF value returned is over 4095 then input line is high ‘ELSE input line must be low If ChkValReturned > 4095 Then InputStatus = 1 ‘Flag that input line is high else InputStatus = 0 ‘Flag input line is low EndIf … next scan … The input line can accept 0 and 5V logic inputs OR -12 and +12V RS-232 level inputs. Below is a break down of the different input voltages allowed and the state of the input line flag.
