RS422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE PLUS
NOTE
Be sure to set the address selections and jumper options before
installation.
The RS422/485 Serial Interface Plus occupies 8 consecutive I/O locations,
and looks to the PC as a standard serial port. DIP switch SW1 sets the port
address options. Be careful when selecting the port address, since some
selections conflict with existing PC ports. The following table shows the
addressing options available with the standard PAL. If you don’t see an
address option that suits your needs, call Black Box about a custom PAL
option.
