Ground loop current is a commonly neglected and misunderstood phenomenon that leads to data loss and the possible destruction of communications interfaces. The isolated OMG-ULTRA-SIO provides up to 500 volts DC of isolation. What’s Included The OMG-ULTRA-SIO is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the supplier. • • OMG-ULTRA-SIO Serial I/O Adapter (P/N 3189 with isolation or P/N 3089 without isolation) Software Factory Default Settings The OMG-ULTRA-SIO factory default settings are as follows: Port # Port 1 Port 2 Base Address 3E8 2E8 IRQ 5 10 Electrical Specification RS-422 RS-422 To install the OMG-ULTRA-SIO using factory default settings, refer to Installation on page 9. For your reference, record installed OMG-ULTRA-SIO settings below: Port # Base Address OMG-ULTRA-SIO IRQ Electrical Specification Page 1 Card Setup Card Setup The OMG-ULTRA-SIO contains several jumper straps that must be set for proper operation. Address Selection Each port on the OMG-ULTRA-SIO occupies eight consecutive I/O locations. A DIP-switch is used to set the base addres s for these locations. SW1 sets the I/O address for port 1 and SW2 sets port 2. The following table shows the addressing options available. If different address options are required, please contact Technical Support about a custom PAL option. 3F8 2F8 3E8 2E8 2A0 300 328 Disabled 1 On On On On Off Off Off Off 2 On On Off Off On On Off Off 3 On Off On Off On Off On Off 4 On On On On On On On Off Figure 1 - Address Selection Table Note: Each COM: port in the system should have a unique address. Typically COM1: - COM4: addresses are 3F8, 2F8, 3E8 and 2E8 Hex. Refer to Appendix A for common address contentions. Port Enable / Disable Each port on the OMG-ULTRA-SIO can be enabled or disabled with switch position 4 on the DIP-switch. The port is enabled with the switch ‘On’ and disabled when ‘Off’. If any port is disabled, be sure to disable the interrupt request for that port by removing the IRQ jumper. OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 2 Card Setup IRQ Selection Headers E11 and E12 select the interrupt request for each serial port. If COM1: is selected, the corresponding jumper must be on the IRQ4 setting. If COM2: is selected, the corresponding jumper must be on IRQ3. 15 14 12 11 10 7 6 5 4 3 2/9 Note: Most communications software applications default COM3: to IRQ4 and COM4: to IRQ3. This requires the sharing of interrupts between COM1: and COM3:, and between COM2: and COM4:. While this is the default, it is not always the preferred setting. Check your software configuration instructions to determine the most appropriate IRQ selection. Figure 2 - Header E11 and E12, IRQ Selection Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the same IRQ setting at header E11 and E12 and setting the appropriate selections at E5 and E6. Note that a polling type driver is needed to share interrupts in this fashion. Windows does not supply a polling type driver. Consult your particular software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper. OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 3 Card Setup Interrupt Modes Header E5 and E6 selects the interrupt mode for each port. Each port must be set in the correct mode to insure proper operation. ‘N’ indicates the (N)ormal, single interrupt per port mode. ‘S’ Indicates the (S)hared interrupt mode, which allows more than one port to access a single IRQ. Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the same IRQ setting and setting the appropriate selections at E1. Consult your particular software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper. ‘M’ indicates the inclusion of a 1K ohm pull-down resistor required on one port when sharing interrupts. N S M 1 2 E5 E6 Figure 3 - Header E5 & E6, Normal IRQ Mode Set the jumpers to ‘S’ for shared interrupt mode on all blocks sharing an IRQ except one. Set that port block for ‘M’. This provides the pull-down resistor circuit that makes sharing IRQs possible. If you are using more than one OMGULTRA-SIO or a compatible adapter in a bus you should only have one port set to ‘M’. The following example shows both ports sharing a single IRQ. N S M 1 2 E5 E6 Figure 4 - Header E5 & E6, Shared IRQ Mode OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 4 Card Setup Set the jumper to ‘S’ if you are using more than one OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a bus or to completely remove the pull-down resistor for hardware compatibility. Setting the adapter in this configuration when it is not accompanied by a pulldown resistor will prevent the ports from triggering an interrupt. N S M 1 2 E5 E6 Figure 5 - Header E5 & E6, Sharing IRQs with another adapter RS-485 Enable Modes RS-485 is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 requires a tri-state driver (not dual-state) that will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be remo ved 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 OMG-ULTRA-SIO 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 OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a RS-485 application with existing (i.e. standard RS-232) software drivers. OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 5 Card Setup Headers E8 (Port 1) and E10 (Port 2) are used to control the RS-485 mode functions for the driver circuit. The two selections are ‘RTS’ enable or ‘Auto’ enable. The ‘Auto’ enable feature automatically enables/disables the RS-485 interface. The ‘RTS’ mode uses the ‘RTS’ modem control signal to enable the RS-485 interface and provides backward compatibility with existing software products. If you have E3 and E9 in the RS-422 mode and wish to have the RTS signal present at the DB connector place a jumper over the RTS pins at E8 and E10. Otherwise the RTS control signal will not be present at the DB connector. Headers E3 (Port 1) and E9 (Port 2) are 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. These header blocks are described in the illustration and table that follow: 1 Echo No Echo 422 485 E3 = Port 1 E9 = Port 2 Position 1 ‘Echo’ Position 2 ‘No Echo’ Position 3 ‘422’ Position 4 ‘485’ OMG-ULTRA-SIO Echoes the data that is transmitted. All characters transmitted are received. (Only relevant in the two wire RS-485 Mode) Inhibits the data that has been transmitted. Receiver is off when transmitter is on. (Only relevant in the two wire RS-485 Mode) RS-422/485 Driver always enabled (RS-422 Mode). RTS modem control signal available on DB-9 connector. RS-422/485 Driver enabled by RTS or ‘Auto’ enabled. Modem control signal not available on DB-9 connector.

A 120 ohm resistor is across each RS530/422/485 input in addition to a 1K ohm pull-up/pull-down combination that bias the receiver inputs. Headers E1 and E4 allow the user to customize this interface to their specific requirements. Each jumper position corresponds to a specific portion of the interface. If multiple OMG-ULTRA-SIO 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 L T L P P Function Connects the TX+ to RX+ for RS-485 two wire operation. Adds or removes the 120 ohm termination. Connects the TX- to RX- for RS-485 two wire operation. 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/RS485 receiver circuit (Receive data only).

OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 14 Appendix C – Electrical Interface Appendix C - Electrical Interface RS-422 The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits. RS-422 is a differential interface that defines voltage levels and driver/receiver electrical specifications. On a differential interface, logic levels are defined by the difference in voltage between a pair of outputs or inputs. In contrast, a single ended interface, for example RS-232, defines the logic levels as the difference in voltage between a single signal and a common ground connection. Differential interfaces are typically more immune to noise or voltage spikes that may occur on the communication lines. Differential interfaces also have greater drive capabilities that allow for longer cable lengths. RS-422 is rated up to 10 Megabits per second and can have cabling 4000 feet long. RS-422 also defines driver and receiver electrical characteristics that will allow 1 driver and up to 32 receivers on the line at once. RS-422 signal levels range from 0 to +5 volts. RS-422 does not define a physical connector. RS-485 RS-485 is backwardly compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for partyline or multi-drop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable of being Active (enabled) or Tri-State (disabled). This capability allows multiple ports to be connected in a multi-drop bus and selectively polled. RS-485 allows cable lengths up to 4000 feet and data rates up to 10 Megabits per second. The signal levels for RS-485 are the same as those defined by RS-422. RS-485 has electrical characteristics that allow for 32 drivers and 32 receivers to be connected to one line. This interface is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 tri-state driver (not dual-state) will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be removed from the line. Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s) must be tri-stated. RS-485 can be cabled in two ways, two wire and four wire mode. Two wire mode does not allow for full duplex communication, and requires that data be transferred in only one direction at a time. For half-duplex operation, the two transmit pins should be connected to the two receive pins (Tx+ to Rx+ and Tx- to Rx-). Four wire mode allows full duplex data transfers. RS-485 does not define a connector pin-out or a set of modem control signals. RS-485 does not define a physical connector. OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 15 Appendix D - Ground Loop Phenomenon Appendix D - Ground Loop Phenomenon What is Ground Loop? Ground loop Phenomenon occurs when two (or more) pieces of equipment are connected together with a common ground and a different ground potential exists at each location. This current can cause the connected equipment to experience noise that in turn causes data transmission errors. In the extreme this ground current can cause equipment malfunction or even destruction. Cabling Recommendations When connecting the OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a RS-485 network, care should be taken that both ends of the network are not isolated from ground (see Figure 12). This “floating” ground condition could cause the capacitive or inductive coupling of voltages that will cause a break down in the DC to DC converter circuit or in the opto-isolator circuit. This condition will cause data errors and possibly destruction of the receiver circuit. A DATA+ DATA- Isolated Ultra SIO Isolation Barrier Ground B Non Isolated Ultra SIO Figure 11 - OMG-ULTRA-SIO cabling example OMG-ULTRA-SIO Page 16 Appendix E - Asynchronous Communications Appendix E - Asynchronous Communications Serial data communications implies that individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing (start/stop bits) are pre-defined and must correspond at both the transmitting and receiving ends. Asynchronous communications is the standard means of serial data communication for PC compatibles and PS/2 computers. The original PC was equipped with a communication or COM: port that was designed around an 8250 Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART). This device allows asynchronous serial data to be transferred through a simple and straightforward programming interface. Character boundaries for asynchronous communications are defined by a starting bit followed by a pre-defined number of data bits (5, 6, 7, or 8). The end of the character is defined by the transmission of a pre-defined number of stop bits (usually 1, 1.5 or 2). An extra bit used for error detection is often appended before the stop bits. Idle state of line 5 to 8 Data Bits Odd, Even or Unused Remain Idle or next start bit 1 P BIT STOP 0 1 1.5 2 Figure 12 - Asynchronous Communications Bit Diagram This special bit is called the parity bit. Parity is a simple method of determining if a data bit has been lost or corrupted during transmission. There are several methods for implementing a parity check to guard against data corruption. Common methods are called (E)ven Parity or (O)dd Parity. Sometimes parity is not used to detect errors on the data stream. This is refereed to as (N)o parity. Because each bit in asynchronous communications is sent consecutively, it is easy to generalize asynchronous communications by stating that each character is wrapped (framed) by pre-defined bits to mark the beginning and end of the serial transmission of the character. The data rate and communication parameters for asynchronous communications have to be the same at both the transmitting and receiving ends. The communication parameters are baud rate, parity, number of data bits per character, and stop bits (i.e. 9600,N,8,1).
