Chapter 1- Introduction
485SDD16 Features
The 485SDD16 is a general purpose control module that
operates through an RS-485 interface.
The 485SDD16 offers 16
discrete digital I/O lines. With these features, the module can be
used to sense external ON/OFF conditions and to control a variety
of devices.
Each of the sixteen I/O lines can be defined as either an input or
an output. The digital outputs are CMOS compatible. The digital
inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible. The digital I/O lines are available
through a DB-25S (female) connector.
The 485SDD16 connects to the host computer’s RS-485 or RS-
422 serial port using terminal blocks. The address and turn-around
delay are software programmable to allow for use of multiple
devices or connection to existing multi-node systems. The unit
automatically detects baud rates from 1200 to 9600. A data format
of 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity is used.
Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory.
These parameters consists of module address, communication turn-
around delay, I/O definitions, and output power-up states.
The unit is powered by conn12Vdc to terminal blocks or
to the DB-25S I/O connector.
