Technical description Chapter 1 PA 7300 INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE BOARD The board PA 7300 provides the personal computer (PC) with an asynchronous serial interface for the communication with external devices. The operating mode depends on the version of the basic board PA7300 and on the SI modules installed.
PA 7300 Technical description Chapter 1 The intended purpose of the board depends on the operating mode used. Table 1-1: Intended purpose depending on the operating mode Operating Port Distance Environment Module mode configuration between transmitter and receiver modem control signals PM232 RS232 connected on the board...
Technical description Chapter 1 PA 7300 Limits of use The use of the board in a PC could change the PC features regarding noise emission and immunity. Increased noise emission or decreased noise immunity could result in the system not being conform anymore. If the basic board PA7300 is used with galvanically separated SI modules, then the creeping distance of 3.2 mm to the RS232 peripheral lines which are not galvanically separated is not ensured anymore.
