IndustryPack Modules
GE Fanuc IP-OCTAL-422 IndustryPack Modules.
The IP-OCTAL-422 IndustryPack module implements eight EIA-422
asynchronous serial ports, each with RXD and TXD balanced pair signals.
In addition, eight general-purpose input lines are provided with TTL
switching levels.
Serial ports are implemented with the Signetics SCC2698B octal UART.
Each channel has a three-character FIFO on its receiver to allow longer
interrupt servicing latencies. Eighteen programmable baud rates up to
38.4 kbps, and programmable bit length, parity, and stop bits are
supported.
Four independent 16-bit timers are provided. The IndustryPack Strobe* pin
may be used as a clock input or output depending on the setting of user
shunts. Two serial channels may be configured for DMA use.
