    Blue Heat/PCI Opto and Opto RS-422/485 The Blue Heat/PCI Opto ships with all ports jumper selectable for RS-232 or RS-422/485. The Blue Heat/PCI Opto RS-422/485 ships with all ports RS-422/485 only. Both the Blue Heat/PCI Opto and the Blue Heat/PCI Opto RS-422/485 offer full RS-422/485 support in hardware with three modes: Full Duplex, Half Duplex, and Multi-drop Slave.
  • Page 36: Half Duplex Mode

    Half Duplex Mode In this mode the TxD line driver is enabled only when data is transmitted and RxD is disabled when data is being transmitted. This mode is typically used in either point to point "2 wire" connections OR in multi-drop "2 wire" bus connections. To enable this mode for a port you must jumper positions 7 and 8 on the appropriate jumper blocks JA, JB, JC, JD.
  • Page 37: Line/Bias Termination

    Line/Bias Termination You can use jumper blocks JA, JB, JC and JD to terminate and bias TxD ±, RxD ±, RTS ±, and CTS ± on the individual RS-422/485 ports through jumper selectable 150 Ω fixed resistors. Please refer to Figure 12 Opto and Figure 6...
