3. Pin Assignment and Definitions
3.1 LED Indicators
The LED provides the Matrix-750 operation information. The LED status is described
as follow:
 “Ready” (Ready LED indicator): Ready LED keeps ON when system is ready for
operating.
 “STATUS” (User define LED indicator): Function / activity is assigned by user.
 “SERIAL” (Serial Port LED indicator): Dual color LEDs indicate the data traffic at
the serial ports. When RXD line is high then Green light is ON and when TXD line
is high, Yellow light is ON.

3.2 Serial Port
The Matrix-750 has one RS-485/RS-232 ports, Default setting is RS-485.
RS-485 is designed without isolation that automatically direction controlled via
software
The pin assignment is shown as following table.
Port No. Pin1 Pin2 Pin3
RS-485 Signal GND D+ D-
RS-232 Signal GND TX RX
Enable/Disable Termination resistor for RS-485 (JP1)
The Matrix-750 provides on-board 120Ohm termination resistor for each RS-485 port.
To enable the termination resistor, please remove the upper cover of the Matrix-750,
and the adjust the associated jumper to short as below:
Termination Resistor Disabled (default)
Termination Resistor Enabled
Set Serial Port to RS232 port (JP3)
The Serial Port on Matrix-750, default is RS-485 at JP3 (setting Pin 3 and Pin4)
To Enable RS-232 port, setting JP3 at Pin 1 and Pin 2
