Connector Pinouts
6.1
JP1 & JP2 Serial Port Connections
JP1 and JP2 carry the serial port signals for Serial Channel A and Serial Channel B respectively. JP1
(Serial Channel A) is the lower connector. The layout is designed to connect directly to a standard 25-
way connector as shown:

The above assumes standard RS232 drivers are fitted to the BVME4000/6000. If RS422 or RS485
interface modules are fitted refer to the RS422/RS485 INTERFACE MODULE documentation detailed
in the "A.9 RS422/485 Interface Module (on page 60)" section of this manual .
6.2
JP3 Parallel Port Connections
JP3 carries the parallel port signals, and the layout is designed to connect directly to a standard 36-
way connector as shown:
