Product Warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products that have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details. If you think you have
a defective product, follow these steps:
Step 1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-
screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
Step 2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
Step 3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This
allows us to process your return more quickly.
Step 4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase
date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A prod-
uct returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for
warranty service.
Step 5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

1.3 Safety Precautions
The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most cases,
you will simply need to connect a standard cable.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not
connect while the power is on. A sudden rush of
power can damage sensitive electronic compo-
nents. Only experienced electronics personnel
should open the chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
electric charge before touching UNO-2170. Mod-
ern electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag.

Chapter 2 Hardware Functionality
2.1 Introduction
The following two figures show the connectors on UNO-2170. The fol-
lowing sections give you detailed information about function of each
peripheral.
Figure 2.1: Front panel of UNO-2170
Figure 2.2: Rear panel of UNO-2170
2.2 RS-232 Interface (COM1~COM2)
The UNO-2170 offers two standard RS-232 serial communication inter-
face ports: COM1 and COM2. Please refer to A.3 for their pin assign-
ments.
IRQ and Address Setting
The IRQ and I/O address range of COM1 and COM2 are listed below:
COM1: 3F8H, IRQ4
COM2: 2F8H, IRQ3

9 Chapter 2
2.3 RS-232/422/485 Interface (COM3~COM4)
The UNO-2170 offers two RS-232/422/485 serial communication inter-
face ports: COM3 and COM4. Please refer to Appendix A.4 for their pin
assignments. The default setting of COM3 and COM4 are RS-422/485.
2.3.1 16C550 UARTs with 16-byte standard
Advantech UNO-2170 comes with TI16C550 UARTs containing 16 bytes
FIFOs.
2.3.2 RS-422/485 detection
In RS-422/485 mode, UNO-2170 automatically detects signals to match
RS-422 or RS-485 networks. (No jumper change required)
2.3.3 Automatic Data Flow Control Function for RS-485
In RS-485 mode, UNO-2170 automatically detects the direction of
incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. So no
handshaking signal (e.g. RTS signal) is necessary. This lets you conve-
niently build an RS-485 network with just two wires. More importantly,
application software previously written for half duplex RS-232 environ-
ments can be maintained without modification.
2.3.4 Termination Resistor (JP6)
The onboard termination resistor (120 ohm) for COM3/COM4 can be
used for long distance transmission or device matching. (Default Open.)

2.3.5 RS-232/422/485 Selection
COM3 and COM4 support 9-wire RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 inter-
faces. The system detects RS-422 or RS-485 signals automatically in RS-
422/485 mode.
To select between RS-422/485 and RS-232 for COM3, adjust JP4.
To select between RS-422/485 and RS-232 for COM4, adjust JP5.

2.3.6 RS-485 Auto Flow & RS-422 Master/Slave Mode
You can set the “Auto Flow Control” mode of RS-485 or “Master/Slave”
mode of RS-422 by using the SW3 DIP switch for each RS-422/485 port.
In RS-485, if the switch is set to “Auto”, the driver automatically senses
the direction of the data flow and switches the direction of transmission.
No handshaking is necessary.
In RS-422, if DIP switch is set to “On,” the driver is always enabled, and
always in high or low status.

2.3.7 IRQ and Address Setting
The IRQ and I/O address range of COM3 and COM4 are listed below:
• COM3: 3E8H, IRQ10 (Independent IRQ), IRQ10 (Share IRQ)
• COM4: 2E8H, IRQ5 (Independent IRQ), IRQ10 (Share IRQ)
• Vector address for share IRQ: 1D0H
You can set “Share IRQ” or “Independent IRQ” by the first switch of
SW4.
You can adjust the transmission rate by the second switch of SW4.
* To increase the normal baud rates by eight times, (e.g. if 115.2K bps is
set, the baud rate will be increased to 921.6K bps), set switch 2 of SW4
to “on”.
