1 Introduction
PCI/ PCI Express-Communication User Manual 2
1.1 Description
1.1.1 PCI Bus
The PCI Bus is a high-performance bus that provides a processor-independent data
path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals. PCI is a robust inter-connect
mechanism designed specifically to accommodate multiple high performance peripherals for series communication, SCSI, LAN, etc.
Advantech serial communication card leverages the “Plug and Play” capability
defined in the PCI 2.1/2.2 bus specification. The board requires only one PCI slot
within the personal computer and provides independent serial channels. All channels
are addressed in a continuous 32 byte I/O block for simplified software access. And,
all channels may also share one PCI interrupt. An interrupt status register is available
for determining the interrupt source.
The Advantech PCI communication card comes standard, containing deeper FIFOs
than serial port. These upgraded FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead and are an
ideal choice for heavy multitasking environments.
1.1.2 PCI Express Bus
The PCI Express Bus is a high-speed, scalable I/O serial bus technology that is standard designed to replace earlier PCI bus. Thus, PCI Express has numerous improvements such as higher maximum system bus throughput, less I/O pin, more detailed
error detection and reporting mechanism, and smaller physical footprint. Although, at
the hardware level, PCI slots and PCIe slots are not interchangeable, at the software
level, PCI Express preserves compatibility with PCI device drivers and OS.
PCI Express is a point-to-point connection, which means it does not share bandwidth
but communicates directly with devices via a switch that directs data flow. By adding
more lanes, scalable features can be achieved for greater bandwidth.
The PCIe link between PC and other devices can consist of 1 to 32 lanes. These
numbers indicate the number of lanes you wish to have. For example, PCIe x16 has
16 lanes.

2.1 Initial Inspection
1. PCI/ PCI Express Communication card
2. ICOM CD-ROM including:
a. User manual
b. Industrial Communication Driver
c. Utility tool
We carefully inspect our PCI/ PCI Express communication card mechanically and
electrically before shipping. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working condition on receipt.
As you unpack, check for any signs of
shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). Should any damage is
found or it fail to meet specifications, please notify our service department or your
local sales representative immediately. Also the carrier should be notified. Retain the
shipping carton and packing material for further inspections by the carrier.
After inspection we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the communication card, remove it from its
protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the anti-vibration packaging for further storage, as the card was removed from the PC.
Warning! Discharge your body’s static electric charge by touching the back of the
grounded chassis of the system unit (metal) before handling the board.
You should avoid contact with materials that hold a static charge such
as plastic, vinyl and styrofoam. Handle the board only by its edges to
avoid static damage to its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the
exposed circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use a
grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static dissipative mat
whenever you work with it.

2.3 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It gives the card
default configuration and your options for each jumper.
2.3.1 How to Set Jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small
metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you
remove the clip.
Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would
connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application,
contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
Figure 2.13 How to Set Jumpers
2.3.2 Default Settings
The board is shipped with default settings. If you need to change these settings, however, see the following sections. Otherwise, you can simply install the card.

2.3.3.1 RS-232/422/485 Selection (for PCI-1612A/B/C)
(RS-232 Selection compatible for PCI-1610A/B/C)
Should you wish to configure the PCI-1612A/B/C to operate in the RS-232 mode, the
bottom two pins of the 12*3 pin jumper should be connected. For RS-422/ RS-485
mode selection, the upper two pins of the 12*3 pin jumper should be connected, and
two pins of the 13th pin jumper should be connected for only PCI-1612A/B cases, as
shown below.

Should you wish to configure the PCIe-1622A/B to operate in the RS-232 or RS422/
RS-485 mode, you will locate jumpers at CN10 to CN17 to make connection as
shown below.
Figure 2.16 PCIe-1622 Series RS-232/422/485 Selection
2.3.3.3 RS-422/485 Selection (for PCI-1601A/B/1602/1602UP)
You can set each port individually for either RS-422 (the default) or RS-485 operation.See section 2.2 “Jumper and Switch Locations” for help to locate the jumpers.
Figure 2.17 RS-422/485 Selection by Jumper Setting
2.3.3.4 PCI-1603 RS-232/Current-loop Mode Selection
For RS-232 mode operations, the jumpers will be set as the default mode. The jumpers on the 10*2 pin jumper must be set to A, B, C, D and E.
Figure 2.18 PCI-1603 RS-232 Mode Jumper Setting
To enable the channel to operate in the current-loop mode, you should set F, G, H, I
and J on the 10*2 pin jumpers.
Figure 2.19 PCI-1603 Current-loop Mode Jumper Setting
PCI/ PCI Express-Communication User Manual 20
Then decide which mode the Tx and Rx will operate in. The options are active or passive. In the active mode, the Tx or Rx will generate the current requirement for data
transfer over the link. In the passive mode, the current is generated by the card at the
other end of the link.
A and B are set to be active Rx, and E is set to be active Tx.
Figure 2.20 Active Mode Jumper Setting
C and D are set to be passive Rx, and F is set to be passive Tx.
Figure 2.21 Passive Mode Jumper Setting
You may configure both Tx and Rx on one port to operate in the same mode, or you
can configure each Tx and Rx on one port to operate in different modes.
If you set PCI-1603 to the current-loop mode, plug the card to your device and turn
on the device, both LEDs Rx1 and Rx2 on top corner of PCI-1603 board are lighten,
indicating that current-loop mode is enabled!
Note! When either channel is configured in the RS-232 mode, the two associ-
ated Tx/Rx active/passive jumpers will be inoperable.
21PCI/ PCI Express-Communication User Manual
Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration
2.3.3.5 Enable mode selection
You set the Enable mode using two, four or eight position DIP switches, one for each
port. If the switches are set to "AUTO", the driver automatically senses the direction
of the data flow and switches the direction of transmission. No handshaking is necessary.
If DIP switches are set to “On”, the driver is always enabled, and always in high or
low status. The user must select a mode before beginning RS- 422 applications.
2.3.3.6 Terminator setup (for PCI-1601/1602/1612/1622)
You can install terminator resistors if necessary to match impedance. Each signal line
(Tx, Rx) has a separate resistor.
Especially in fields with serious electric noise, installing terminal resistors is helpful to
stabilize communications. Make sure that both sides of the RS-485 communication
ports are installed on BUS. See details in Chapter 5.2.2 and 5.2.3.

Each Com Port tab represents a specific port you have selected for test and configuration. On the tab, you can see the Transfer Mode, Port Status, and Message Logo
area.
Transfer Modes
You can specify the transfer mode to be Normal, loopback (active) or loopback (passive).
Normal—allows data to be transmitted and received simultaneously. The data reception rate is helpful in identifying the performance of a communication card installed on
your system.
Loopback- In loopback mode a series of special data will be transmitted, which are
expected to appear on the receiving end. Using the loopback mode, you can check
the integrity of received data and find whether any error occurred on the transmission
line. The active loopback and passive loopback must work in pair to enable the loopback mode. When a port operates as active loopback mode, it will send data first and

receive data later. Another port, which operates as passive loopback, will retransmit
any received data on the Rx line and then send these data onto the Tx line. These
two modes will form a logical loop and help to verify the integrity of data transmitted
over the communication link.
4.3.4 Port Status
DTR (data-terminal-ready)
DSR (data-set-ready)
RTS (request-to-send)
CTS (clear-to-send)
CD (carrier-detect)
For RS-232 specifications, DTR and RTS are for output signals and can be toggled
on and off by double-clicking the labels (such as DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, CD) under
the red/green marks. However, if you are using RTS/CTS for flow control to run the
test, you will see the RTS mark appear in black. This indicates that the RTS can no
longer be toggled on/ off since it is controlled by driver itself.
4.3.5 Message Logo
On the Message Logo area, you can see the relevant messages about the port(s)
you have selected.
For information about specific messages in this area, please refer to Section 4.5,

5.2 Wiring
5.2.1 5.2.1 RS-232 Signal Wiring
Since the RS-232 interface is not strictly defined, many devices have their own connection methods which may ignore some signal lines or define reserved lines for
other functions. It is best to refer to the user’s manual for your device for installation
instructions. You may find the following helpful.
In general, DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) refers to the device that is leading the
communication. Examples include PC’s, terminals and some printers. DCE refers to
the device being communicated with or controlled. Examples include modems,
DSU’s (digital service units), printers and lab/factory equipment.
In some situations you may be able to get by with just three lines: data on TXD, a signal ground and a handshaking line. Examples are printer or plotter connections, troubleshooting and situations where you require only one-wire communication.

Chapter 5 Pin Assignments and Wiring
For DTE to DCE connections, use a straight through cable (i.e., you don't have to reverse
lines 2 and 3, lines 4 and 5, and lines 6 and 20 since, in general, the DCE RS-232 interfaces
are reversed themselves).
Therefore, if you are not using CTS, RTS, DSR,DTR and DCD signals, short pins 4 and 5
together, and please short pins 6, 8,and 20 together.
5.2.2 RS-422 Signal Wiring
The RS-422 interface wiring is based on one-to-one principles. The transmit lines on
one side connect to the receive lines on the other side, and vice versa. With RS-422,
you can transmit and receive data simultaneously (full duplex). The connections are
as follows:
Terminator Resistors Setup
The signals DSR, DTR and DCD are shorted internally on the PCI-1601/1602/1611/
1612/1622 cards when operating in RS-422 mode.
A user can solder in termination resistors if necessary for impedance matching. The
card has two mounting spaces for termination resistors, but no resistors are installed
at the factory. Each pair of signal lines has a separate resistor (RxD+/-, TxD+/-).

5.2.3 RS-485 Signal Wiring
The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This means that just two
wires are needed to both transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals (such as
RTS, Request To Send) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow
and to switch the transmission accordingly. In RS-485 mode, the PCI-1601/1602/
1611/1612/1622 cards automatically sense the direction of the data flow and switch
the transmission direction — no handshaking is necessary. This means a user can
build an RS-485 network with just two wires. This RS-485 control is completely transparent to the user. The software written for half duplex RS-232 works without any
modification.
Figure 5.1 RS-485 Wiring Topology
Termination Resistor Setup
You can install termination resistors if necessary for impedance matching. The card
has mounting spaces for termination resistors, but no resistors are installed at the
factory. Depending on your application you may need to solder in a single resistor to
handle the DATA+/DATA- pair (and a corresponding resistor on the other end of
the connection). The value of the resistor should equal the characteristic impedance
of the signal wires (approximately 120 Ohms or 300 Ohms).
