IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
It is very important for the user to consider the possible adverse
effects of power, wiring, component, sensor, or software failures
in designing any type of control or monitoring system. This is
especially important where economic property loss or human life is
involved. It is important that the user employ satisfactory
overall system design. It is agreed between the Buyer and
Acromag, that this is the Buyer's responsibility.
Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Industrial I/O Pack (IP) Series IP521 module provides eight
EIA/TIA-422B serial communication ports for interfacing to the
VMEbus, PCIbus, or ISAbus, according to your carrier board. Up to
five units may be mounted on the PCIbus carrier board to provide up
to 40 asynchronous serial ports per PCI system slot.
The IP521 can also be used to implement an EIA-485 interface
operating in full-duplex. In this mode more than one transmitter is
connected to differential pair and only one transmitter can be
enabled at any given time.
The transmit and receive paths of each channel include
generous 64-byte FIFO buffers to minimize CPU interaction.
Character size, stop bits, parity, and baud rate are software
configurable. Prioritized interrupt generation is also supported for
transmit, receive, line status, and data set conditions. The IP521
utilizes state of the art Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) to
achieve its wide functionality and is an ideal choice for a wide range
of industrial communication interface applications that require a
highly reliable, high-performance interface at a low cost.
The IP521 is available in standard and extended temperature
range modules. The IP521-64 model is the standard temperature
range (0 to 70
°
C) version. The IP521-64E model is the extended
temperature range (-40
°
C to +85
°
C) version.
KEY IP521 FEATURES
•
High Density
- Provides programmable control of eight
EIA/TIA-422B serial ports. Four units mounted on a VMEbus
or ISAbus carrier board provide 32 serial channels in a single
system slot. On the PCIbus carrier, up to five units may be
mounted to provide up to 40 asynchronous serial ports per PCI
system slot.
