Chapter 2: Hardware Installation 2-1 Hardware Installation Introduction Hardware installation involves configuration of the following Titan/cPCI products: The Titan/cPCI-2 /cPCI-4 adapters Note: Please refer to Chapter 3: Software Installation for installation of your Titan/cPCI board under certain operating systems. Configuration Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (cPCI) bus architecture offers a feature called Plug and Play (sometimes referred to as PnP).
2-2 Chapter 2: Hardware Installation RS-485/422 Line Interface The Titan/cPCI adapters come with a jumper selectable RS485/422 electrical line interface for each port. The RS-485/422 electrical interface is a reliable high-speed serial link that offers superior noise immunity and multi-drop network connectivity. The RS-485/422 electrical interface is also a superset of the RS422 electrical interface. Titan/cPCI adapters offer full RS485/422 support in hardware.
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation 2-3 Installing the Titan/cPCI Adapter in your System To install your Titan/cPCI adapter in your computer follow these steps: Your Titan/cPCI adapter is very sensitive to static electricity. Make sure you wear an anti-static wristband before you remove the card from the anti-static shipping bag. When you remove the board from the anti-static bag, handle it only by the edges and place it on the anti-static bag or an anti-static mat. 1. 2. 3. 4. 4.

Chapter 4: Appendices – Connectors/Pinouts 4-5 Appendix B: Connectors/Pinouts Appendix B outlines the connector pinouts for the Titan/cPCI-2 and the Titan/cPCI-4. Connector Pinouts Tables 1 and 2 outline the pinouts for the Titan/cPCI connectors or cable connectors. Technical Tip: Please ensure that you terminate signals if your application does not use them. Failure to do so may result in a loss of a performance on your Titan/cPCI adapter. Table 1: DB-9 cable connector pinouts Pin No.

Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface 4-9 Appendix D: RS-485/422 Line Interface Electrical Interface Selection The Titan/cPCI adapter provides jumper selectable RS-232 and RS-485/422 electrical interfaces on each port. Jumper block JB sets the electrical interfaces for the individual ports. Jumpers installed across the pins on jumper block JB enable the RS-232 interface for that port, while jumpers not installed across pins enable the RS-485/422 interface for that port.
4-10 Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface Full Duplex Mode By not installing pins on jumper block JA and by using features in our driver software, you can run the individual RS-485/422 ports in full duplex mode. This mode is typically used in point to point RS-485/422 situations much like RS-232. In this mode, TxD & RxD are active all the time. Figure 1 shows the location of jumper block JA.
Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface 4-11 Line Termination You can use jumper blocks JC, JD, JE and JF to terminate and bias TxD ±, RxD ±, RTS ±, and CTS ± on the individual RS485/422 ports through jumper selectable 150 Ω fixed resistors. Please refer to Figure 4 for a partial schematic of the RS-485/422 circuit for the Titan/cPCI and to Figure 1 for the locations of JC, JD, JE and JF.
4-12 Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface Example The following example shows the settings on JC, JD, JE and JF where RS-485 port 1 is terminated on RTS ± and TxD ±, the RS-485 port 2 is set for bias/termination on RTS ±, TxD ±, CTS ±, and RxD ±, the RS-485 port 3 is not terminated, and port 4 is set for RS-232 on jumper block JB and therefore should not be terminated JD JC PORT 1 JE JF JC1 JD1 JE1 JF1 JC2 JD2 JE2 JF2 JC3 JD3 JE3 JF3 JC4 JD4 JE4 JF4 JC5 JD5 JE5 JF5 JC6 JD
Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface 4-13 RS-485/422 Cable Wiring You can wire Titan/cPCI adapters in various ways to communicate with RS-485/422 peripherals. This section describes a few examples of RS-485/422 cabling schemes. Figure 5 describes a 4 wire cabling scheme between a port on the Titan/cPCI adapter to a port on the RS-485/422 peripheral.
4-14 Chapter 4: Appendices – RS-485/422 Interface Figure 6 describes a 2 wire cabling scheme between a port on the Titan/cPCI adapter to a port on the RS-485/422 peripheral.
