Introduction Overview The SIO-104+2 series provides the ultimate serial connection for your PC/104 application. The SIO-104+2 when configured in the RS-422/485 mode provides an interface capable of long length, high-speed communications, or when configured in the RS-232 mode provides a standard RS-232C interface that is fully compatible all popular modem software, network operating systems software, and mouse drivers.
DB9 pin out for RS-232 (aka EIA/TIA574) and also provides the Sealevel Systems’ DB9 standard for RS-422/485. DB103 - The DB103 is designed to convert a Sealevel DB9 Male connector to a pinout • compatible with AC24AT and AC422AT Opto-22 ISA bus cards. When used with the optional CA152 cable assembly it allows Optomux devices to be controlled with the SIO-104+2.
SW1A sets the I/O address for port 1 and SW2A sets port 2. 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. Disabled Figure 1 - Address Selection Table Each COM: port in the system should have a unique address.

Technical Description The SIO-104+2 series provides the ultimate serial connection for your PC/104 application. SIO-104+2 utilizes the 16850 UART. These chip features programmable baud rates, data format, interrupt control and 128-Byte input and output FIFOs. The SIO-104+2 when configured with the RS-422/485 interface will allow long length, high-speed communications suitable for data collection and shop floor control.
Configure your Sealevel Systems adapter so that there is no conflict with currently installed adapters. No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. Make sure the Sealevel Systems adapter is using a unique IRQ The IRQ is typically selected via an on-board header block. Refer to the section on...
If possible, please have the adapter installed in a computer ready to run diagnostics. 3. Sealevel Systems provides an FAQ section on its web site. Please refer to this to answer many common questions. This section can be found at http://www.sealevel.com/faq.asp.
0 (space) and -12 volts (-3 to -10 volts) denotes a binary 1 (mark). The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574 specification define two types 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.
4 mA. Sealevel Systems has been a member of the PC/104 Consortium since its inception. Also Sealevel Systems has two members on the working group that is currently having the PC/104 bus approved by the IEEE as P996.1.
