ACB-104.ULTRA User Manual
Introduction
ACB-104.ULTRA
The ACB-104.ULTRA part number 3514 digital I/O interface provides 48 channels
The ACB-104.ULTRA adapter provides the PC/104-Plus computer with a single
channel high-speed multi-protocol serial interface suitable for the most popular
communication protocols. This sync/async card provides an ideal solution for highspeed applications including LAN/WAN connectivity. Utilizing the Zilog Z16C32
(IUSC™) on chip DMA controller eliminates bus bandwidth constraints that are
placed on typical interface adapters, allowing data rates to reach 10M bps in burst
mode. By utilizing the Z16C32's 32 byte FIFO buffer coupled with 256K of on board
memory, higher data rates are achieved.

Before You Get Started
What’s Included
The ACB-104.ULTRA is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is
missing or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement.
ACB-104.ULTRA Adapter
PC/104-Plus Mounting Hardware
Sealevel SeaI/O Software CD
Optional Items
Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the
following items useful for interfacing the ACB-104.ULTRA to real-world signals.
All items can be purchased from our website (http:\\www.sealevel.com
calling 864-843-4343.
CA-118 – Provides an 8” ribbon cable with an IDC26 connector to a DB-25
Male connector.
CA-178 – A 6’ shielded cable with a DB-25F connector to an ITU-T ISO-2593
style connector (V.35), and converts the Sealevel DB-25 implementation to the
ITU-T V.35 mechanical standard.
CA-104 – A 6’ extension cable with one DB-25M connector and one DB-
25Fconnector, pinned one-to-one, for use with RS-232 and RS-530.
CA-107 – A 10” shielded cabling adapter with a DB-25F (RS-530) to a DB-
37M (RS-449 DTE). RS-530 is replacing RS-449 in Telecom applications, but
there is still a very large installed base of equipment that still uses the RS-449
pin-out. Both standards use RS-422 to define the electrical specifications and
are interchangeable via this adapter cable.
CA-159 – A 6’ shielded cable with a DB-25F (RS-530) to a DB-15M (X.21),
and converts the standard DB-25 implementation of RS-530 or RS-422 to the
ITU-T X.21 standard.

Card Setup
Address Selection
As part of the PC/104-Plus specification, a means of selecting the appropriate signals
to identify the position in which the adapter is installed in the stack must be provided.
This is typically done via Dual 4:1 Mux/Demux chips and a rotary switch. They
provide a 5 ohm switch that connects the input and output together. These switches
provide a bi-directional path with no signal propagation delay other than the RC
delay of the on resistance of the switch and the load capacitance. This is typically
250ps at 50pF Load. Other methods of configuring the modules are possible, but the
rotary switch is the most convenient, cleanest and provides for the least possible error
in configuration. The clocks are tuned on the Host Board such that the length of
CLK3 trace is .0.662" less than CLK2, CLK2 trace is .0.662" less than CLK1, and
CLK1 trace is .0.662" less than CLK0. Therefore, the first module on the stack must
select CLK0 (the longest trace), the second CLK1, etc. This provides basically no
clock skew between modules. The table below shows the appropriate switch setting
and signals used for each module in the stack.
Switch Position Module Slot CLKID Address INT0* INT1* INT2* INT3*
0 or 4 1 CLK0 AD20 INTA* INTB* INTC* INTD*
1 or 5 2 CLK1 AD21 INTB* INTC* INTD* INTA*
2 or 6 3 CLK2 AD22 INTC* INTD* INTA* INTB*
3 or 7 4 CLK3 AD23 INTD* INTA* INTB* INTC*

Software Installation
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch.
Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect the
operating environment and install the proper components. Next (depending on
the OS version) select the ‘Run this program from its current location’ or ‘Open’
option. Follow the information presented on the screens that follow.
7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be determined
due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.” Please select the
‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This declaration simply means
that the Operating System is not aware of the driver being loaded. It will not
cause any harm to your system.
8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred
configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are
necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An uninstall
option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from the system.

ACB-104.ULTRA User Manual
Physical Installation
Extreme care should be taken when installing the adapter to avoid causing damage to
the connectors. After the adapter is installed, connect your I/O cable to P1. Please
note these connectors are keyed so that pin 1 of the cable matches pin 1 of the
connector. The ACB-104.ULTRA is a universal bus add-in board and can be used on
either 3V or 5V I/O signaling buses. Universal boards either use the VI/O signal to
determine its signaling level or are 3V signaling boards that have 5V-tolerant I/O.
Universal boards will work on either 3V or 5V I/O signaling buses. Manufacturers of
PC/104-Plus modules must clearly label near or on the PCI connector the module’s
PCI signaling capabilities. The ACB-104.ULTRA is clearly labeled ‘Universal’.
Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.
1. Turn off power. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the case cover (if applicable).
3. Gently insert the adapter noting proper key orientation of the expansion
connector on a PC/104 Plus expansion bus. The adapter is keyed per the current
PC/104 and PC/104-Plus Specification. This will aid in preventing the adapter
from being inserted incorrectly.
4. Mounting hardware (nylon stand-offs and screws) is provided to ensure a good
mechanical connection. Retain any mounting hardware not used to allow for
future expansion.
5. Replace the cover.
6. Connect the power cord and power up the machine.
