IM4 Module Integration Guide 

Configuring the IM4 as a PC Card Module (Default) 

In PC Card mode, the IM4 interface looks like a standard 16C550 UART. 
It appears as a serial port and you can use a communications program, 
such as HyperTerminal, to communicate with it using the Basic Reader 
Interface (BRI). For more information on the BRI, see the 

Basic Reader 

Interface (BRI) Programmer’s Reference Guide

 (P/N 937-000-001). 

All signals are 3.3 V logic levels (5 V tolerant inputs). 

 

Low 

High 

Notes 

Inputs 

0 V to 0.8 V 

2.4 V to 5.5 V 

Input current is ±10 µA max 

Outputs 

0.4 V Max @ 8 mA 

2.9 V min @ -8 mA 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: 

Pins with a # in the pin name indicate an active low signal. 

Pins 7 (CE1#), 44 (IORD#), and 45 (IOWR#) determine if the IM4 
operates in PC Card mode or in Serial mode. If the three signals are NOT 
grounded, the IM4 operates in PC Card mode.
