    Jumper Settings This section details the possible jumper configurations for your card. 2.3.1 How to Set Jumpers Configure the card to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is the simplest type of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (typically protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.

  • Page 25 Table 2.2: Board ID Setting Note: On: 0, Off: 1 2.3.3.3 Tx Enable Mode Selection (SW2) Tx Enable Mode is set by two, four, or eight position DIP switches (one for each port). If a switch is set to “On,” the driver of the corresponding port will always be enabled, and the COM port will change to RS-422 master mode, which means that the Tx out- put is always enabled.
  • Page 26 2.3.3.4 Termination Setup (for PCI-1602B/1602C/1612B/1612C/1622B/1622C) If necessary, you can set termination resistors to match the impedance. Each signal line (Tx, Rx) has a separate resistor. Note! Especially in fields with serious electric noise, setting termination resis- tors is helpful to stabilize communications. Ensure that both sides of the RS-485 bus have termination resistors.

  • Page 27: Card Installation

    Card Installation Note! We strongly recommend that you install the software driver before installing the hardware. This will guarantee a smooth and trouble-free installation process. Turn off your PC’s power supply whenever you install or remove the PCI comm. card or its cables. Static electricity can easily damage computer equipment. Ground yourself by touching the chassis of the computer (metal) before you touch any boards.

    Introduction This chapter describes the driver installation, configuration, and uninstall procedures for Windows. We strongly recommend installing the software driver before the hard- ware. This will guarantee a smooth and trouble-free installation process. Driver Setup Windows supports up to 256 serial ports (COM1~COM256). To fully utilize the advanced features of Windows (e.g., multiprocessing and multithreading), Windows 7/8/10 (and other versions) device drivers that are provided with the PCI comm.

    Wiring 5.2.1 RS-232 Signal Wiring Since the RS-232 interface is not strictly defined, many devices have their own con- nection methods, and these may ignore some signal lines or lines reserved for other functions. It is best to refer to the user manual of your device for installation instruc- tions.

  • Page 56: Rs-422 Signal Wiring

    For DTE to DCE connections, use a straight-through cable (i.e., you do not need to reverse Lines 2 and 3, Lines 4 and 5, or Lines 6 and 20 since, in general, DCE RS-232 interfaces are reversed themselves). Table 5.17: Terminal Without Handshake DB-25 Male Terminal, PC (DTE) Signal...
  • Page 57 5.2.3 RS-485 Signal Wiring The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This means that just two wires are needed to transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals, such as request-to-send (RTS) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow and to switch the transmission accordingly.
