Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Overview The Sealevel Systems ULTRA 530.PCI is a one channel PCI Bus serial I/O adapter for the PC and compatibles. It provides one field selectable RS-232/422/485/530 serial port supporting asynchronous data rates up to 460.8K bps as well as isochronous data rates up to the speed of the supplied clock. Now, with this card, you can use your standard communications software and connect over a clocked digital communications line. -
Page 4: Before You Get Started
Before You Get Started What’s Included The ULTRA 530.PCI is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the supplier. • ULTRA 530.PCI Serial I/O Adapter Advisory Conventions Warning The highest level of importance used to stress a condition where damage could result to the product, or the user could suffer serious injury. -
Page 5: Card Setup
Some communication software packages refer to RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer. One of the unique features of the ULTRA 530.PCI is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2 environments where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. - Page 6 RS-485 Mode Examples (Header E4) Figure 1- Header E4, RS-422 Figure 2 – Header E4, RS-485 ‘Auto’ Enabled, with ‘No Echo’ Figure 3 - Header E4, RS-485 ‘Auto’ Enabled, with ‘Echo’ © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 7101 Manual | SL9160 9/2021...
- Page 7 Figure 6 – Header E4, RS-485 ‘DTR’ Enabled, with No Echo Address and IRQ selection The ULTRA 530.PCI is automatically assigned I/O addresses and IRQs by your motherboard BIOS. Only the I/O address may be modified by the user. Adding or removing other hardware may change the assignment of I/O addresses and IRQs.

- Page 9 Electrical Interface Selection Each port on the ULTRA 530.PCI has the ability to be used in either RS-232 or RS-422/485. This is selectable via four 24 pin DIP-shunts at E1-E4. Please use the following illustration to aid in the configuration of your electrical interface.
- Page 10 CARD SETUP, CONTINUED Clock Modes The ULTRA 530.PCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide by 4 and divide by 1 clocking modes. These modes are selected at Header E8. To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e., 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K Bps) place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk-screen DIV4).
- Page 11 If your communications package allows the use of Baud rate divisors, choose the appropriate divisor from the following table: For this Data Rate Choose this Divisor 1200 bps 2400 bps 4800 bps 9600 bps 19.2K bps 38.4K bps 57.6K bps 115.2K bps 230.4K bps 460.8K bps © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 7101 Manual | SL9160 9/2021...
