Digital I/O Connections

Chapter 2 - Connections

This chapter will cover the connections required for the 232SDD16. There are three sets of connections: digital I/O, serial port, and power supply. Do not make any connections to the 232SDD16 until you have read this chapter.

Connections to the I/O lines are made through the DB25S (female) I/O port connector. Refer to Table 2.1. See Chapter 5 for I/O interfacing examples.

Digital Inputs

The digital input lines are CMOS/TTL compatible and can handle voltages from 0Vdc to +5Vdc.

Digital Outputs

The digital output lines have a maximum voltage of +5Vdc and are CMOS/TTL compatible.

Ground

The pin should be connected to your external digital devices ground.

Serial Port Connections

In order to communicate to the 232SDD16 module it must be connected to an RS-232 serial port. The unit automatically detects baud rates from 1200 to 9600. A data format of 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity is used. The 232SDD16 is configured as a DCE device (See Table 2.2). If your communications equipment is configured as a DTE device, such as a standard IBM PC serial port, the 232SDD16 should be connected using a “straight through” DB-

25cable or a standard DB-9 to DB-25 cable adapter as shown in Table 2.3. If your communications equipment is configured as a DCE device, such as a modem, the 232SDD16 should be connected using a “null modem” cable (See Table 2.4).
