1 1 Introduction Overview Industio - The Industrial Multiport Async Solution The term Industio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution for industrial applications. The Industio CI-134 Ser ies boar ds, including CI-134, CI-134I and CI-134IS, are designed for 16-bit ISA/EISA bus. They offer 4 independent RS422/RS-485 serial ports. It offers reliable communication link over a longer distance (4000ft). It is best suitable for industrial environment.
Automatic Data Direction Control for RS-485 To ease the 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex control, Automatic Data Direction Control intelligence is built on each Industio CI-134 board. Eliminating the need of software interference. Hence, the applications can manage the RS-485 port without extra code to control the half-duplex protocol.
Introduction which the configuration utility Io-irq.exe can access the board, which is identical to the fir st por t' s base I/O addr ess. The CAP jumper, J P1, is designed in case of that users forget the CAP address. Normally JP1 is left open. When JP1 is short, the CAP address is forced to a fixed I/O address, 0xA700. While doing quick hardware installation, JP1 is required to be shorted, detailed in chapter, “Hardware Installation”.
Broad Applications The board is suitable for many industrial applications.
