Hardware Connections
1. Prepare the Prototyping Board for
Development
Snap in four of the plastic standoffs supplied in the bag
of accessory parts from the RIO Programmable I/O Kit
in the holes at the corners as shown.
2. Attach Module to Prototyping Board
Turn the RCM4110 module so that the mounting holes
of the RCM4110 line up with the corresponding holes
on the Prototyping Board. Insert the metal standoffs as shown in Figure 2, secure them from the bottom of
the Prototyping Board using the 4-40 × 3/16 screws, then insert the module’s header J3 on the bottom side
into header socket RCM1 on the Prototyping Board.
Figure 2. Install the RCM4110 Module on the Prototyping Board
NOTE:
It is important that you line up the pins on header J3 of the RCM4110 module exactly with
socket RCM1 on the Prototyping Board. The header pins may become bent or damaged if the pin
alignment is offset, and the module will not work. Permanent electrical damage to the module may
also result if a misaligned module is powered up.
Press the module’s pins gently into the Prototyping Board header socket—press down in the area above
the header pins. For additional integrity, you may secure the RCM4110 to the standoffs from the top
using the remaining two 4-40 × 3/16 screws.
3. Set Jumpers
Jumpers were placed at the factory on Prototyping Board headers J2, J7, J8, J9, and J15 as shown in Figure 3
to set up the Prototyping Board for the SPI serial mode used with the sample programs.
Application Note
AN415,
RIO Programmable I/O Kit
, describes other configuration options.
4. Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM4110 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs
and to monitor the RCM4110 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled
PROG
to header J1 on the RCM4110
as shown in Figure 3. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the
connector. (Do not use the
DIAG
connector, which is used for a normal serial connection to Serial Port A.)

Figure 3. Prototyping Board and Programming Cable Setup
NOTE:
Be sure to use the programming cable (part number 101-0542) supplied with the RIO
Programmable I/O Kit—the programming cable has blue shrink wrap around the RS-232 con-
verter section located in the middle of the cable. Programming cables with red or clear shrink
wrap from other Rabbit Semiconductor kits are not designed to work with RCM4110 modules.
Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.
NOTE:
Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use an RS-232/
USB converter (Part No. 540-0070) with the programming cable supplied with the RIO Pro-
grammable I/O Kit. Note that not all RS-232/USB converters work with Dynamic C.
5. Connect Power
Once all the other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board.
First, prepare the AC adapter for the country where it will be used by selecting the appropriate plug.
The RIO Programmable I/O Kit presently includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and
European style plugs. Snap in the top of the plug assembly into the slot at the top of the AC adapter as
shown in Figure 3, then press down on the plug until it clicks into place.
Connect the AC adapter to 3-pin header J1 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 3 above. The
connector may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side—the center pin of J1 is
always connected to the positive terminal, and either edge pin is ground.
Plug in the AC adapter. The power LED on the Prototyping Board above the power connector at J1
should light up. The RCM4110 and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE:
If you need to reset the RCM4110, disconnect, then reconnect the power supply.
