PB-SIO4A Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Product Overview 1.1.1 Description The PB-SIO4A is a quad (four) channel asynchronous RS422/RS485 serial piggyback with support for full duplex RS422/RS485 transmit, receive, and RTS/CTS handshake signals. There are four different versions of the PB-SIO4A available: non-optoisolated: • • RS422 RS485 optoisolated: • • RS422 RS485. Any version combination can be installed on a single carrier board.
PB-SIO4A Introduction This piggyback is fitted with DUART devices (two driver/receiver devices each handling two of the four serial channels), as well as a GAL device containing the specific interrupt handling logic and other features such as the I.D. number. The optoisolated versions have eight optocouplers which are replaced with wire bridges on the non-optoisolated versions. For operational configuration of this piggyback there are solder jumpers located both on the front and rear side of the board.

In conjunction with the carrier board there are various possibilities for connecting the I/O channels of the piggyback to external devices.

PB-SIO4A Adapter AD-SIO4 4. Adapter AD-SIO4 4.1 Product Overview The AD-SIO4 is a special adapter designed to provide front panel connection to the PBSIO4A using 15-pin Dsub connectors as opposed to the 50-pin connector provided by the carrier board. This adapter consists of a separate, 8 HP front panel with four, 15-pin female Dsub connectors mounted on the front side for external device connection, and two, 24-pin, male dual row connectors for internal connection to the PB-SIO4A carrier board.
