Additional Support; Support For N-Port Modules - ICP DAS USA LinPAC AM335 Series User Manual

7. Additional Support

This chapter provides additional information related to the modules supported, together with
instructions that can be used to enhance the functionality and efficiency of the LinPAC AM335x
PAC module.

7.1. Support for N-Port Modules

N-port communication modules provide two or four serial ports and can be inserted into the slot
of an LP-8x2x/9x2x embedded controller. In this way, additional serial ports can be used on the
LP-8x2x/9x2x embedded controller, meaning that the maximum number of serial ports available
on the LP-8x2x/9x2x will be expanded to thirty-four.

LP-8x2x
The LP-8x2x embedded controller is a multi-tasking unit, meaning that all the serial ports can be
controlled simultaneously. The number of each serial port on the I-8114W and I-8112iW modules
are presented in Figures 7.1-1 and 7.1-2. The information illustrated in Figure 7.1-5 is for the
LP-8121 only and is fixed based on their slot position.
