  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The 3547 PC/104 serial interface provides four serial ports with 1,500VDC port-to-port isolation that protect the host system from ground loops and voltage transients that are common in remote installations and industrial environments. For maximum versatility without opening the PC/104 stack, each port is software configurable for full- duplex (4-Wire) RS-422 or RS-485.

    (labeled E5) providing the IRQ selection for the adapter. Address Selection Each port on the 3547 occupies sixteen consecutive I/O locations. The DIP switch is used to set the base address for the serial ports and the following table shows the addressing options available. If different address options are required, please contact Sealevel Systems Technical Support about a custom PAL option.
  • Page 9 Port Enable/Disable All four ports on the 3547 can be disabled by setting the switches 1, 2, and 3 on SW1 to the ‘Off’ position. The ports are enabled when a valid I/O selection is made. If the adapter is disabled, be sure to disable the interrupt request by removing the IRQ jumper from E5.
  • Page 10 In situations where PC/104 boards do not need to share interrupts, make sure that the switch position ‘S’ on DIP switch SW1 is moved to the ‘off’ position. In addition, the IRQ jumpers on E5 should be set to different interrupts for each board. © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 3547 Manual | SL9192 7/2021...
  • Page 11 Clock Modes The 3547 utilizes a 14.7456 MHz oscillator. This is eight times faster than a standard COM: port oscillator, which typically is 1.8432 MHz. This allows the adapter to achieve a maximum data rate of 921.6K bps. The following sections outline the baud rate calculations and instructions for achieving your desired baud rate.
