SERIES IP503 INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK EIA/TIA-232E & CENTRONICS COMMUNICATION MODULE
___________________________________________________________________________________________
- 3 -
•
Interrupt Support - Individually controlled transmit, receive,
line status, and data set interrupts may be generated.
Unique interrupt vectors may be assigned to each port.
Interrupt generation uses a priority shifting scheme based on
the last interrupt serviced, preventing the continuous
interrupts of one port from freezing out the interrupts of
another port
•
Internal Diagnostic Capabilities - Loopback controls for
communication link fault isolation. Break, parity, overrun,
and framing error simulation is also possible
•
Industry Standard 16550 Family UART w/16C450 Mode -
The UART of this device is a member of the industry
standard 16C550 family of UART’s and remains software
compatible. Additionally, this device can operate in a
16C450 UART family software compatible mode. The
transmit and receive channels are double-buffered in this
mode. Hold and shift registers eliminate the need for
precise synchronization between the host CPU and the
serial data
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK INTERFACE FEATURES
•
High density - Single-size, industry standard, IP module
footprint. Four units mounted on a carrier board provide up
to 8 serial ports and 4 parallel ports in a single system slot.
Both VMEbus and ISAbus (PC/AT) carriers are supported
•
Local ID - Each IP module has its own 8-bit ID PROM which
is accessed via data transfers in the "ID Read" space
•
8-bit I/O - Port register Read/Write is performed through 8-
bit data transfer cycles in the IP module I/O space
•
High Speed - Access times for all data transfer cycles are
described in terms of "wait" states--2 wait states are
required for all read and write operations. One wait state is
required for an ID PROM read. See Specifications section
for detailed information
SIGNAL INTERFACE PRODUCTS
(See Appendix for more information on compatible products)
This IP module will mate directly to any industry standard IP
carrier board (including Acromag AVME9630/9660 3U/6U non-
intelligent VMEbus carrier boards)Additionally, PC carrier boards
are also supported (see Acromag Model APC8600)A wide range
of other Acromag IP modules are also available to serve your
signal conditioning and interface needs
Note: Since all connections to field signals are made through the
carrier board which passes them to the individual IP modules,
you should consult the documentation of your carrier board to
ensure compatibility with the following interface products
Cables:
Model 5025-551-X (Shielded Cable), or Model 5025-550-X
(Non-Shielded Cable):A Flat 50-pin cable with female
connectors at both ends for connecting AVME9630/9660, or
other compatible carrier boards, to Model 5025-552
termination panels. The unshielded cable is recommended
for digital I/O, while the shielded cable is recommended for
optimum performance with precision analog I/O applications.
The “-X” suffix of the model number denotes the length in feet
Model 5029-944 IP503 Serial Communication Cable: A 5
foot long, flat 50-pin cable with a female connector on one
end (for connection to AVME9630/9660 or other compatible
carrier boards) and two DE-9P connectors (serial ports), plus
one DB-25S connector (parallel port) on the other end
Model 5029-900 APC8600 High-Density Cable: A 36-inch
long interface cable that mates the high-density (25mil pitch)
50-pin I/O connectors of the APC8600 PCbus carrier board,
to the high-density connectors on the APC8600 Termination
Panel (described below)
Termination Panels:
Model 5025-552: A DIN-rail mountable panel that provides 50
screw terminals for universal field I/O termination. Connects
to Acromag AVME9630/9660, or other compatible carrier
boards, via flat 50-pin ribbon cable (Model 5025-550-X or
5025-551-X)
Model 5029-910 APC8600 High-Density-to-Screw-Terminal
Termination Panel: This panel converts the high-density
ribbon-cable connectors coming from the APC8600 carrier
board (Acromag cable Model 5029-900) to screw terminals,
for direct-wired interfaces
Transition Module:
Model TRANS-GP: This module repeats field I/O
connections of IP modules A through D for rear exit from a
VMEbus card cage. It is available for use in card cages
which provide rear exit for I/O connections via transition
modules (transition modules can only be used in card cages
specifically designed for them)It is a double-height (6U),
single-slot module with front panel hardware adhering to the
VMEbus mechanical dimensions, except for shorter printed
circuit board depth. It connects to Acromag Termination
Panel 5025-552 from the rear of the card cage, and to
AVME9630/9660 boards within the card cage, via flat 50-pin
ribbon cable (cable Model 5025-550 or 5025-551)
INDUSTRIAL I/O PACK SOFTWARE LIBRARY
Acromag provides an Industrial I/O Pack Software Library
diskette (Model IPSW-LIB-M03, MSDOS format) to simplify
communication with the board. Example software functions are
provided for both ISAbus (PC/AT) and VMEbus applications. All
functions are written in the “C” programming language and can be
linked to your application. For more details, refer to the
“READMETXT” file in the root directory on the diskette and the
“INFO503TXT” file in the appropriate “IP503” subdirectory off of
“\VMEIP” or “\PCIP”, according to your carrier
20 PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt of this product, inspect the shipping carton for
evidence of mishandling during transit. If the shipping carton is
badly damaged or water stained, request that the carrier's agent
be present when the carton is opened. If the carrier's agent is
absent when the carton is opened and the contents of the carton
are damaged, keep the carton and packing material for the
agent's inspection
For repairs to a product damaged in shipment, refer to the
Acromag Service Policy to obtain return instructions It is
suggested that salvageable shipping cartons and packing
material be saved for future use in the event the product must be
shipped
