Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 workstation operating system What’s in this Guide This guide assumes that you are familiar with serial networking. If you are using the PCI-AC48 adapter card to connect to mistic Remote I/O or Optomux systems, it is also expected that you are familiar with the controllers, brains, racks, and input/output modules used with these systems. -

Page 9: Dip Switch Descriptions
DIP Switch Settings for Common Network Configurations Settings suitable for common applications of the PCI-AC48 adapter card are shown in the table below. You need to know where the adapter card will be installed on the network—at one end or in the middle—and whether 2-wire or 4-wire connections are used. -

When the computer is turned on, Microsoft Windows automatically recognizes that new hardware has been added to the system. The PCI-AC48 adapter is “seen” as two new hardware devices, the PCI adapter card itself and the two serial ports the adapter card provides. You need to separately configure software drivers for each device following the steps below: 1. -

9. When the New Hardware Wizard indicates that the driver has been successfully installed, click Next to move to the next screen, and then click Finish. Locating and configuring the PCI-AC48 adapter card is complete. Continue with the next section to verify the Windows COM ports assigned to the adapter card’s serial ports. -
Page 13: Connecting A Serial Cable To The Adapter Card
Connecting a Serial Cable to the Adapter Card The PCI-AC48 adapter card has two serial ports, Port A and Port B. Two removable 10-pin cable plug connectors are provided with the adapter card. The connectors are similar to some screwless speaker connectors. -

CHAPTER 1: INSTALLING THE PCI-AC48 ADAPTER CARD Wiring for RS-485 2-Wire (Two Serial Ports) The following wiring diagram assumes that you are using the PCI-AC48 for two 2-wire ports with no interrupts. (If you are using interrupts, see page 20.) -

If You Are Migrating from AC24AT, AC422AT, or AC37 Cards If you are replacing existing Opto 22 AC24 or AC37 adapter cards with new PCI-AC48 cards, note that the PCI-AC48 does not have RTS and CTS capability. Also, you should be aware of a potential compatibility problem. - Page 17 COM ports. If the software directly accesses the I/O location on the previous ISA card, you’ll need to modify the source code to use the new I/O location on the PCI-AC48.

Troubleshooting the Adapter Card with a Loopback Connection Because a loopback connection essentially lets the PCI-AC48 adapter card talk to itself, it can help you determine whether a communication problem is caused by other RS-422/485 devices external to the computer or is limited to the adapter card, operating system, and software being used. -

If the LED did not blink, check the COM port number you are using to make sure it matches the COM port number assigned to Port A. 2. Did the Receive LED (RX, REC, RCV) on the Opto 22 brain or controller blink? If it did, then the Opto 22 device received a message; go to the next step. - Page 21 CHAPTER 2: TROUBLESHOOTING 3. Did the Transmit (TX, XMT) LED on the Opto 22 brain or controller blink? If it did, the Opto 22 device understood the message, confirmed that the message address matched its address, and transmitted a response. Go to the next step.
