IP-OCTAL-485 IndustryPack® with 8 EIA-485 Asynchronous Serial Ports Features • Eight EIA-485 ports on a single-wide IndustryPack • Three-level FIFOs on all receivers • Support for DX+, DX-, and GND on each channel • Programmable baud rates in 18 steps up to 38.4 kbps • Four 16-bit timers The IP-Octal-485 IndustryPack module implements eight EIA-485 asynchronous serial ports, each with DX+, DX- balanced pair signals and a ground. Serial ports are implements with the Signetics SCC2698B octal UART. Each channel has a three-character FIFO on its receiver to allow longer interrupt servicing latencies. Eighteen programmable baud rates up to 38.4 kbps, and programmable bit length, parity, and stop bits are supported. Four independent 16-bit timers are provided. The IndustryPack Strobe* pin may be used as a clock input or output depending on the setting of user shunts.
