1.2.1 Board-Specific Information

The CP346 is a 4-channel serial I/O device supporting the RS232, RS422 and RS485 industry standards. Three board variants are currently available, a non-isolated standard version, a non-isolated variant provided with rear I/O connectivity, and an isolated variant. The external interfacing of the board is accomplished using a 37-pin row D-Sub connector.

• 32-bit CompactPCI board, 33 MHz

• Up to 115.2 kBaud asynchronous transmission

• Isolated or non-isolated board variants

• 4 independent serial channels

• One 37-pin, dual row, D-Sub connector

• RS232, RS422, and RS485 standards

• Each channel individually configurable per hardware/software

• Bus termination resistors (RS422/RS485) hardware selectable

• Control LED’s on the front panel

• Rear I/O-capable board variant

• Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, Linux® and VxWorks® drivers

1.2.2 Board Variants

Three different variants of the CP346 main board are available:

• Non-isolated standard version

• Non-isolated version providing rear I/O connectivity

• Galvanically isolated version

All board variants have in common four individually programmable RS232, RS422 or RS485 channels. However, the external interfacing is realized via different physical schemes. The various board variants are equipped with one of the following connectors:

• Front panel connector

• Rear I/O connector

The front panels of the board variants are different in terms of their external interfacing.

P R E L I M I N A R Y

A complete list of the physical board interfaces of all board variants is given in the following table:

1.2.3 Rear I/O Modules

The CP346 board allows for the installation of a rear I/O module. On the CP346 rear I/O capable board variant, the TTL serial signals are routed to the J2 rear I/O connector.

Page 21

CP346 Introduction

1.2.4 Front Panel Adapter

The CP346 serial I/O board is provided with a 37-pin D-Sub connector. In order to provide discrete access to the separate serial I/O channels, a front panel adapter cable can be connected to the 37-pin frontend connector. This adapter cable terminates on the user side with four, male, 9-pin, D-Sub connectors (one per serial I/O channel).

1.2.5 System-Relevant Information

1.2.5.1 Board Location in the System

Board location within a system must be considered carefully. Depending on the number of boards, their locations in a given system, and the operating system being used by application programs may have difficulty identifying boards properly. In particular, when configuration changes such as board replacement, movement to another slot, etc. are made after the initial system implementation. Therefore, any changes made to a system should be carefully considered prior to making the change and proper operation be verified before the system is put into operation again.

Note...

When configuring a system it is recommended that all boards to be used be installed in the system prior to installing any drivers or other board-related software. Failure to do so may result in the non-identification of a given board or boards.

1.2.5.2 Operating Systems

The CP346 can operate under the following operating systems:

• Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded

• Linux®

• VxWorks®

Drivers are supplied for these operating systems.

2. Functional Description

2.1 General Information

The CP346 serial communications controller board is the realization of a low cost solution for industrial automation communication purposes and represents the implementation of a serial communication controller board at the basic OSI levels.

The main functions implemented on the CP346 board are the OSI Layer 2 control for RS232, RS422 and RS485 communication purposes as well as the OSI Layer 1 physical signal level adaptation for the above mentioned interfaces, where the RS422/RS485 interface is realized for half duplex as well as for full duplex operation.

The physical layer adaptation (OSI Layer 1) of the TTL interface signals is realized independently for each channel via corresponding on-board RS232, RS422/RS485 transceivers where each of the four serial communication links are configured individually for serial interface operation per hardware and software, including the serial line termination for balanced serial communication.

The supply voltage for the CP346 is 5V DC. The isolated board variant is provided with one 5V/5V on-board DC/DC converter.

2.2 Specifics

The OSI Layer 2 functions for serial communication are handled entirely by the Oxford Semiconductor serial communication controller OX16PCI954. This controller handles all the onboard serial communication tasks related to the OSI Layer 2, and also the data transfer to the system host CPU over the CompactPCI bus.

Configuration of the serial communication links for the various operation types as well as serial line termination for differential communication (RS422/RS485) is accomplished via hardware and software. The four serial I/O channels are independent and can be configured individually for RS232, RS422/RS485 serial communication.

Data transfer operation of the serial channels is indicated at the front panel by four, channelrelated pairs of LEDs for the indication of receive and transmit operations.

All the above mentioned communication functions including the RS232, RS422 and RS485 serial I/O functions are tied to the host system via the standard PCI interface provided directly on the Oxford semiconductor serial communication controller OX16PCI954. Logical control of the CP346 serial communication operation is accomplished via the OX16PCI954 command and status registers which can be accessed independently for each channel directly from the PCI side.

The CP346 serial I/O board is provided with a 37-pin D-Sub connector providing the signals for all four serial I/O channels. In order to provide separate serial I/O channelling, a front panel adapter can be connected to the 37-pin frontend connector. This adapter terminates on the user side with four, male, 9-pin, D-Sub connectors (one per serial I/O channel).

Optionally, the CP346 provides rear I/O connectivity instead of frontend connectivity, where all serial signals are routed at TTL level to a J2 rear I/O connector.

P R E L I M I N A R Y

In addition to the rear I/O variant, the CP346 is available with galvanic isolation for all four channels. This is accomplished through the use of digital isolators from Analog Devices which use iCoupler® technology.

3.4 CP346 Specific Installation

3.4.1 Board Location in the System

Board location within a system must be carefully considered. Depending on the number of CP346 boards, their locations in a given system and the operating system being used, application programs may have difficulty in identifying boards properly. In particular, when configuration changes such as board replacement, movement to another slot etc. are made after the initial system implementation. Therefore, any changes made to a system should be carefully considered before making the change, and proper operation be verified before the system is put into operation again.

Note...

When configuring a system it is recommended that all boards to be used first be installed in the system prior to installing any drivers or other board related software. Failure to do so may result in the nonidentification of a given board or boards.

3.4.2 Cabling

4.1 Hardware Configuration

4.1.1 Serial Mode Configuration

The CP346 offers the possibility to configure the operation mode of each channel either with a per default mounted eight Port DIP switch or with solder jumpers (maybe as replacement in case of special conformal coating requirements). Because the switches are implemented as GND switches and the DIP switch and the jumper option are wired OR, it is also thinkable to use both, where a set switch/jumper has always the higher priority.

Two dedicated switches/jumpers are necessary to configure each channel, where the following tables show the possible settings:

4.1.2 RS422/485 Termination Jumpers

The CP346 offers onboard two 120 ohm termination resistors per channel, which can be used to terminate the differential line pairs in case the serial channel is a beginning or end node of a RS422/485 network.

In the two-wire half-duplex RS485 mode a handshake mechanism is necessary to prevent the sending and receiving of data at the same time over the same RS485 cabling. Otherwise a data crash would occur.

For the handshake mechanism the driver enable (DE) and receiver enable (RE) signals of the RS422/485 transceivers must be managed. This is achieved with the help of the CPLD logic receiving the RTS or DTR serial signals as inputs and generating the DE and RE signals as outputs for the transceivers. The Oxford OX16PCI954 driver uses the DTR signal for such control, but there may be other software on the market, where the RTS signal executes this task. Therefore on the CP346 and CP346-OPT the input signal to the CPLD is configurable as shown in the following tables:

CP346 Configuration

Depending on whether the RS485 mode is selected with or without local echo (refer to chapter

4.1.1 for the corresponding setting), the receiver RE signal is always “On” (with local echo) or the RE signal is inverted to the activation/deactivation of the driver DE signal (without local echo).

Note...

The hardware implementation on the CP346 works with low active DTR/RTS handshaking.

4.2 Software Configuration

Configuring is done as required using the drivers for Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, Linux® and VxWorks®. For driver installation, please refer to the driver documentation supplied with the driver kit.

CP346 Rear I/O Modules

5. Rear I/O Modules

This chapter includes a description of the rear I/O modules designed for operation with the rear I/O-capable board variant of the CP346 serial I/O controller board. The rear I/O modules are designed to optimize the cabling of a CP346 serial communications controller operating at the basic OSI levels, as it is described in the previous chapters of this manual.

Two types of rear I/O modules for the CP346 are currently available by Kontron Modular Computers. One is designed as a 4-channel serial I/O device supporting the RS232 industry standard. The other is designed as a 4-channel serial I/O device supporting the RS485 industry standard with optoisolation. The external interfacing connectors of the two modules also differ:

• CP-RIO3-46: an RS232, non-optoisolated, rear I/O module with four RJ45 connectors

• CP-RIO3-46-OPT: an RS485, optoisolated, two-wire, rear I/O module with a single, 50pin, D-Sub connector

Like the non-rear I/O CP346 mainboard variants, the main functions implemented on the CPRIO3-46 and CP-RIO3-46-OPT rear I/O modules are the OSI layer 2 control for RS232 or RS485 communications as well as the OSI layer 1 physical signal level adaptation for the above mentioned interfaces, where the RS485 interface is realized for half duplex operation.

The rear I/O modules are interfaced to the CP346 mainboard via their rJ2 rear I/O interface connector. The interface signals, which on the mainboard have been routed to the J2 connector instead of the front panel interfaces, are at TTL level. Their physical layer adaptation (OSI Layer

1) is realized for each channel via corresponding on-board RS232 or RS485 transceivers.

Mainboard Location in the System

Location of the CP346 mainboard within a system must be considered carefully. Depending on the number of boards, their locations in a given system, and the operating system being used application programs may have difficulty identifying boards properly. In particular, when configuration changes such as board replacement, movement to another slot, etc. are made after the initial system implementation. Therefore, any changes made to a system should be carefully considered prior to making the change and proper operation be verified before the system is put into operation again.

Note...

Operating Systems

P R E L I M I N A R Y

The CP346 and its rear I/O modules can operate under the following operating systems:

• Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded,

• Linux®

• VxWorks®

Drivers are supplied for these operating systems.

Page 58

Rear I/O Modules CP346

5.1 Non-Optoisolated Rear I/O Module

The CP-RIO3-46 rear I/O module is a 4-channel serial I/O device supporting the RS232 industry standard. The CP-RIO3-46 is provided with the following key features:

• up to 115.2 kBaud asynchronous transmission

• 4 serial channels

• RJ45 connector block (one connector for each channel)

• RS232 standard

• control LEDs both on the module’s and the mainboard’s front panels

• Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, Linux® and VxWorks®, drivers

The supply voltage for the module is 5V DC.

Warning!

The power signals (+5V and GND) are power supply INPUTS to supply the rear I/O module with power. These pins MUST NOT be connected to any other power source, either within the backplane itself or within the rear I/O module.

Failure to comply with the above will result in damage to the CPU board, and can result in damage to the RIO module.

In addition, all pins that are reserved or N/C must not be used for any other purposes.
