  • Page 29: Serial Interfaces

    Hardware Serial Interfaces The CoreModule 745 provides three serial ports: two RS-232/485/422 ports (COM1 and COM2) and one RS-232 port (COM3). The SCH3114I-NU SIO contains the circuitry for all three serial ports and delivers the signals through three transceivers. The two RS-232/485/422 ports require two transceivers: one ADM213EARSZ (U11) for RS-232 signals and one LTC1334CG (U12) for RS-485/422 signals.
