COM: port. This allows the standard COM: driver to be utilized for RS-485 communications. Our on-board hardware automatically handles the RS-485 driver enable. What’s Included The OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged, please contact Omega Engineering. OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Serial I/O Adapter...
RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer. One of the unique features of the OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is especially useful in Windows and OS/2 environments where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program.
If your communications package allows the use of Baud rate divisors, choose the appropriate divisor from the following table: For this Data Rate Choose this Divisor 1200 bps 2400 bps 4800 bps 9600 bps 19.2K bps 38.4K bps 57.6K bps 115.2K bps 230.4K bps 460.8K bps OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Page 3...
Switch SW1 allows customization of this interface to specific requirements. Each switch position corresponds to a specific portion of the interface. If multiple OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI adapters are configured in an RS-485 network, only the boards on each end should have switches T, P & P ON. Refer to the following table for each position’s operation:...
CD. This file contains valuable information on installing your adapter in the QNX6 Neutrino OS, as well as the files required to ensure a flawless implementation. Also provided on the software CD are implementation instructions for QNX4. These are found in D:\software\seacom\Other\QNX4\QNX_COM.txt. OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Page 5...
4. Gently insert the PCI adapter into the slot. Make sure that the adapter is seated properly. 5. Replace the screw. (This is required to ensure FCC Part 15 compliance.) 6. Replace the cover. 7. Connect the power cord Installation is finished. OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Page 6...
The OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI provides an additional asynchronous serial port, field selectable as RS-422/485/530 for industrial automation and control applications. The OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI utilizes the EXAR 16C850 UART. This chip features programmable baud rates, data format, interrupt control and an industry leading 128 byte FIFOs.
No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. 3. Make sure the OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI adapter is using a unique IRQ. While the adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e. SCSI adapters & on-board serial ports) do not. The IRQ is typically selected by the BIOS or Operating system.

The RS-530 specification defines two types of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit- Terminating Equipment (DCE). The OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI adapter is a DTE interface. OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI...
The communication parameters are baud rate, parity, number of data bits per character, and stop bits (i.e. 9600, N, 8, 1). OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Page 12...
Always use cabling provided with this product if possible. If no cable is provided or if an alternate cable is required, use high quality shielded cabling to maintain compliance with FCC/EMC directives. OMG-ULTRA-485-PCI Page 14...
