SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACES 

This section describes the electrical characteristics of the serial interfaces in 
the R4 Navigation System, as well as the supported IEC 61162 input and 
output sentences. 

7.1

 

Electrical Characteristics R4 Display 

7.1.1

 

Output Drive Capacity 

Each talker output can have a maximum of 10 listeners drawing 2.0 mA. 

7.1.2

 

Input Load 

Each listener draws less than 2 mA @ 2 V input voltage. 

7.1.3

 

Termination 

If needed, 1 k

 line termination resistors can be placed in the terminal block 

on the input ports. 

7.1.4

 

Schematics 

Each of the RS422 serial interfaces on the R4 Display fulfils the 
requirements as specified in Ref. [2]. In addition, they support baud rates up 
to 115200. For details of input and output schematics, see Figure 7-1 and 
Figure 7-2 respectively.
