Introduction Introduction Overview The Sealevel Systems C4-104 series provides four selectable RS-232 or RS- 422/485 serial I/O ports for your PC/104 application. What’s Included The C4-104 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged, contact the supplier.
The following table shows the addressing options available with the standard PAL. If you do not see an address option that suits your needs, please contact Sealevel Systems Technical Support about a custom PAL option.
Position “R” installed is the default setting and should be left on unless multiple ports or cards are sharing a single IRQ. If multiple ports or cards are sharing a single IRQ then only one pull-down resistor is needed in the circuit. Sealevel Systems C4-104 Page 3...
5. The cables provided are keyed and can be installed before or after the adapter is inserted in the stack. 6. Replace the cover. 7. Connect the power cord. Installation is complete. Sealevel Systems C4-104 Page 6...
RS-232. If any other connections are made your data may become corrupted. If RTS and CTS are not being used terminate them by connecting the pins together. This will help insure the best performance. Sealevel Systems C4-104 Page 7...
Figure 6 - RS-422/485 Connector Assignments Status Port The Sealevel C4-104 also provides the user with an interrupt status port for greater throughput when servicing multiple ports on a single interrupt line. The interrupt status port is a read only 8-bit port that sets a corresponding bit when an interrupt is pending.

+3 to +10 volts) represents a binary 0 (space) and -12 volts (-3 to -10 volts) denotes a binary 1 (mark). The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574 specification defines two type of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE interface. RS-422 The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits.
