For RS-485 operation the middle DIP switch is placed in the TX SD position. In this position the transmitter is only enabled when data is being sent. The transmitter is tri- stated when not sending data, allowing other transmitters on the communications line to transmit without interference. DIP Switch 3 (RS-232/422/485 ports) The bottom DIP switch (3) configures the port for half-duplex (two-wire) RS-485 operation or full-duplex (four wire) RS-422/RS-485

• B&B 3PCIU2, DIP Switch / Mode Settings A-2 Appendix A Document Number 3PCI-0712m 2. Make sure you have RTS Control set to the correct mode: Normal for RS- 232, RS-485 Mode for RS-485. RS-422 mode works in either setting if the mode jumpers are set correctly. Checking the MIport Card Using ComTest and a loopback connection, you can check the operation of your MIport card separate from the rest of your communications system. Note: Refer to Appendix C for information on how to install and use ComTest 1. A loopback connection for RS-232 connects the Transmit output to the Receive input (pins #2 & #3 on the DB-9 connector).

• B&B 3PCIU2, Setting Driver Options 16 Chapter 4 Document Number 3PCI-0712m Note: For proper operation the DIP switches on the PCI card must be set for the same mode. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on configuring the DIP switches. 2. The Direction control delay (bit times) box allows you to set the length of time the Transmit driver continues to be enabled after the last bit of data in the transmit register has been sent. The purpose of this setting is to maintain the transmission line in a know (idle) state until the data has reached its destination. If the line is released too soon it can pick up no
