Appendix D: RS-485/422 Line Interface
Electrical Interface Selection
The Titan/cPCI adapter provides jumper selectable RS-232 and
RS-485/422 electrical interfaces on each port.
Jumper block JB sets the electrical interfaces for the individual
ports. Jumpers installed across the pins on jumper block JB
enable the RS-232 interface for that port, while jumpers not
installed across pins enable the RS-485/422 interface for that port.
Figure 1 shows the location of jumper block JB.
