12 RS422 & RS485 Operation 12.1 Port Configuration The HB8 is equipped with 3 serial ports which are available via the 50-way expansion connector and both the screw terminal and PicoBlade™ PCAs detailed in section 10. Two of the ports are RS232 and the third port is RS422/RS485. - Page 31 BCT HB8 User Guide v1_0.docx Figure 12-2 RS422 communications RS422 also can support a multidrop connection as it is possible to disable the transmitters. A third device is added in Figure 12-2. Note that the transmit pairs of devices B and C are connected.

Table 13-1 Reserved I C addresses The resistive touch controller is connected to the SPI bus and is present on all HB8 PCAs regardless of whether a resistive touch panel is used. Where a resistive touch panel is used, it must be kept in mind that any external SPI devices added are sharing the bus with the touch controller. -
Page 33: Ethernet
The ethernet is limited to a maximum transfer rate of 100Mb/s. 16 Power 16.1 Voltage The operating voltage of the HB8 is between 9v and 24v. Power is connected via the jack plug (P12) which has a 2.5mm diameter centre pin. Two suitable mating connectors are given in Table 16-1. - Page 34 "M: Burn End ..." message. Close the PhoenixCard tool, eject the µSD card. Figure 17-1 PhoenixCard Tool 6. Ensure the TM3 HB8 board is turned off. Plug in the µSD card prepared by the PhoenixCard tool to TM3 HB8 host board µSD card slot.

2. Click Start button. The big circular indicator on the top right of the application window shall turn green. At this point TM3 devices can be installed. 3. Power the TM3/HB8 board off. Connect a USB cable between the PC and USB Device port on the HB8 labelled as P6. - Page 36 BCT HB8 User Guide v1_0.docx Note that when the installation mode has been started (step 2), the application prevents accidental closure of its window. To close the application, click the Stop icon first, and then close the window as usual.
