Technical Description
The Sealevel Systems COMM+4.PCI provides a PCI interface adapter with 4
RS-232/422/485 asynchronous serial ports for industrial automation and control
applications.
The COMM+4.PCI utilizes the 16C864 UART. This chip features
programmable baud rates, data format, interrupt control and industry leading
128-byte transmit and receive FIFOs.
Connector Pin Assignments
RS-422/485 (DB 9 Male)
Signal Name Pin # Mode
GND Ground 5
TX + Transmit Data Positive 4 Output
TX- Transmit Data Negative 3 Output
RTS+ Request To Send Positive 6 Output
RTS- Request To Send Negative 7 Output
RX+ Receive Data Positive 1 Input
RX- Receive Data Negative 2 Input
CTS+ Clear To Send Positive 9 Input
CTS- Clear To Send Negative 8 Input
RS-232 (DB-9 Male)
Signal Name Pin # Mode
GND Ground 5
TD Transmit Data 3 Output
RTS Request To Send 7 Output
DTR Data Terminal Ready 4 Output
RD Receive Data 2 Input
CTS Clear To Send 8 Input

Technical Note: Please terminate any control signals that are not going to be
used. The most common way to do this is connect RTS to CTS and RI. Also,
connect DCD to DTR and DSR. Terminating these pins, if not used, will help
ensure you get the best performance from your adapter.
