1.1 Introduction
UNO-1170 is an DIN-rail mounted Embedded Automation Computer, which
provides several serial communication ports and Ethernet interfaces. UNO1170 is designed with a compact size, small footprint, and help to saves space
with its front accessible and DIN-rail design. With rich OS and driver support,
such as Windows XP embedded, WinCE 6.0, and even embedded Linux. You
can integrate your applications easily with an application ready platform that
can provide a versatile function to fulfill diverse requirements.
• Chassis size (W × L × H): 85x155x140 mm (3.4"x 6.1"x 5.6") (UNO-1170)
110 x 155 x 140 mm (4.4" x 6.1" x 5.6") (UNO-1170E)
• Software options: WinXP Embedded, Win CE, Linux
• Certification: CE, FCC Class A, UL
1.3 Safety Precautions
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases, you
will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the connector pin assignments are shown in Appendix A.
Warning!!Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis when
you are working on it. Do not connect while the power is
on. A sudden rush of power can damage sensitive electronic components. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the chassis.
Caution!!Always ground yourself to remove any static electric
charge before touching UNO-1170. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. Use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a staticshielded bag.

2.2 COM1~COM2: RS-232 Interfaces
The UNO-1170 offers two standard RS-232 serial communication interface port on COM1 and COM2. Please refer to A.2 for pin assignments.
2.3 COM3: RS-232/422/485 Interfaces
The UNO-1170 offers two RS-232/422/485 serial communication interface ports, and they are COM2 and COM3. Both port can be configured
individually to either RS-232, RS422/485 by using on-board jumpers.
Please refer to A.3 for pin assignments and Table 2.1 lists the default setting of each port.
Table 2.1: COM3 Default Settings
COM PortDefault Setting
COM3RS-422/485
2.3.1 TI 16C550 UARTs with 16-byte Standard
Advantech UNO-1170 comes standard with TI 16C550 UARTs containing 16 bytes FIFOs. These upgraded FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead
and are an ideal choice for heavy multitasking environments.
2.3.2 Jumperless RS-422/485
In RS-422/485 mode, UNO-1170 automatically sense signals to match
RS-422 or RS-485 network. No need to change jumpers.
2.3.3 Automatic Data Flow Control Function for RS-485
In RS-485 mode, UNO-1170 automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. Therefore no
handshaking signal (e.g. RTS signal) is necessary. This feature lets you
simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires. More
importantly, application software previously written for half duplex RS232 environments can be maintained without need for modification.
UNO-1170 User Manual10
2.3.4 RS-232/422/485 Selection
COM2 and COM3 support 9-wire RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 interfaces,
and you can set corresponding jumpers to select serial ports as RS-232 or
RS-422/485 interfaces shown in Table 2.2. Please note to reset the system
to adapt this configuration change
The system detects RS-422 or RS-485 signals automatically in RS-422/
485 mode.

2.3.5 Terminal Resistor Setup for RS-422/485
The onboard termination resistor (120 Ohm) for COM2/COM3 can be
used for long distance transmission or device matching. (Default Open.)
Each terminal resistor responds to different channels for RS-422/485.
Usually, these resistors are needed for both ends of the communication
wires and the value of the resistors should match the characteristic impedance of the wires used.

2.3.6 RS-485 Auto Flow & RS-422 Master/Slave Mode
You can set the “Auto Flow Control” mode of RS-485 or “Master/Slave”
mode of RS-422 by using the SW2 DIP switch for each RS-422/485 port.
In RS-485, if the switch is set to “Auto”, the driver automatically senses
the direction of the data flow and switches the direction of transmission.
No handshaking is necessary.
In RS-422, if DIP switch is set to “On,” the driver is always enabled, and
always in high or low status.
