Introduction
PCL-746+ is a four-port serial communication interface card. The main feature of this card is that each port can be configured individually to RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 using on-
board jumpers. The card has 16C550 UARTs and improved interrupt handling for reliable operation at transmission speeds of up to 115.2 kbps.
PCL-746+ supports two operating modes: standard mode and enhanced mode. In standard mode each of the four ports can be set up as either the address or the IRQ channel individually.
In enhanced mode all four ports can be set to share the same IRQ. When an on-board interrupt occurs, the interrupt status register indicates which port has generated it. The shared
interrupt can be set to the most common (extended) AT interrupts. This simplifies programming, speeds up interrupt processing, and frees up interrupts for other devices.
The RS-485 mode automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. This feature makes your network look and act just like
an RS-232 network. Application software written for half duplex RS-232 can be used without modification. Moreover, you can simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just
two wires.
