494.47 Dual UART/
Encoder
Interface This card provides two channels that allow the control
software to communicate with and provide conditioning
for two external devices. Each channel connects to the
external device through an RJ-50 connector on the I/O
carrier board.
You can configure this card to provide two channels that
communicate in UART mode or two channels that
communicate in digital transducer mode.
UART mode–provides two channels that can be
software configured to support RS-485 serial (2-wire or 4-
wire) communications for a Model 494.05 Handset, a
Model 409 Temperature Controller, or a combination of
both.
Digital transducer mode–provides two channels that
support a number of digital transducer protocols
including: incremental encoders, Temposonics G
transducers with pulse-width modulated output, standard
SSI (synchronous serial interface) devices (most
absolute encoders and Temposonics R), and selected
variants of SSI (such as Teledyne Gurly).
Note When in digital transducer mode, both channels
must run the same transducer protocol.
