Pin Serial Input/Output; Pin Description - Campbell Measurement and Control Module CR10 Operator's Manual

6.1 PIN DESCRIPTION

All external communication peripherals connect
to the CR10 through the 9-pin subminiature D-
type socket connector located on the front of
the Wiring Panel (Figure 6.1-1). Table 6.1-1
shows the I/O pin configuration, and gives a
brief description of the function of each pin.
ABR = Abbreviation for the function name.
PIN = Pin number.
O = Signal Out of the CR10 to a peripheral.
I = Signal Into the CR10 from a peripheral.

Description
5V: Sources 5 VDC, used
to power peripherals.
Signal Ground:
Provides a power return
for pin 1 (5V), and is
used as a reference for
voltage levels.
Ring: Raised by a
peripheral to put the
CR10 in the
telecommunications
mode.
Receive Data: Serial
data transmitted by a
peripheral are received
on pin 4.
Modem Enable: Raised
when the CR10
determines that a
modem raised the ring
line.

7 CLK/HS I/O
8 TE O
9 TXD O
Synchronous Device
Enable: Used to
address Synchronous
Devices (SDs), and can
be used as an enable
line for printers.
Clock/Handshake: Used
with the SDE and TXD
lines to address and
transfer data to SDs.
When not used as a
clock, pin 7 can be used
as a handshake line
(during printer output,
high enables, low
disables).
Tape Enable: Powers
the cassette recorder
during tape transfer.
Transmit Data: Serial
data are transmitted
from the CR10 to
peripherals on pin 9;
logic low marking (0V)
logic high spacing (5V)
standard asynchronous
ASCII, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 start bit, 1 stop
bit, 300, 1200, 9600,
76,800 baud (user
selectable).
