Interfacing Hardware
MaxStream developed proprietary interface boards to facilitate the connection between XStream
les and serial devices. MaxStream has developed an interface board that supports
e RS-232/485/422 protocols (MaxStream part number: XIB-R).
he following section illustrates properties of the MaxStream XIB-R Interface Board. The
axStream Interface board provides means for connecting the XStream Module to any node that
has an available RS-232 or RS-485/422 connection. Since the module requires signals to enter at
CMOS voltages, one of the main functions of the interface board is to convert signals between
CMOS and RS-232 levels.
