For your safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure the renown electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long fault-free
life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by improper treat-
ment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interests of your own safety and of
the correct operation of your new PEP product, you are requested to conform with the follow-
ing guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
$Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for opera-
tional purposes, unless it is otherwise protected.
$Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations.
Where safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-
cally discharged before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most
easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
$It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing
piggybacks, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC
or memory back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, includ-
ing anti-static plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batter-
ies or tracks on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.
Caution!
However, serious electrical shock hazards exist during all installa-
tion, repair and maintenance operations with this product. There-
fore, always unplug the power cable to avoid exposure to
hazardous voltage.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to
the installation of piggybacks.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static
electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling oper-
ations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product
integrity at all times.

General Instructions on Usage
$In order to maintain PEP’s product warranty, this product must not be altered or modi-
fied in any way. Changes or modifications to the device, which are not explicitly
approved by PEP Modular Computers and described in this manual or received from
PEP Technical Support as a special handling instruction, will void your warranty.
$This device should only be installed in or connected to systems that fulfill all necessary
technical and specific environmental requirements. This applies also to the operational
temperature range of the specific board version, which must not be exceeded. If batter-
ies are present, their temperature restrictions must be taken into account.
$In performing all necessary installation and application operations, please, follow only
the instructions supplied by the present manual.
$Keep all the original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments. If it is
necessary to store or ship the board please re-pack it as nearly as possible in the man-
ner in which it was delivered.
$Special care is necessary when handling or unpacking the product. Please, consult the
special handling and unpacking instruction on the previous page of this manual.

PB-SIO4A Introduction
ID 19958, Rev. 0300 Page 1 - 3® PEP Modular Computers GmbH
1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
1.1.1 Description
The PB-SIO4A is a quad (four) channel asynchronous RS422/RS485 serial piggyback
with support for full duplex RS422/RS485 transmit, receive, and RTS/CTS handshake
signals.
There are four different versions of the PB-SIO4A available:
non-optoisolated:
•RS422
•RS485
optoisolated:
•RS422
•RS485.
Any version combination can be installed on a single carrier board. Interfacing to the
PB-SIO4A depends on the type of connector provided by the carrier board or optional
adapters.
1.1.2 Features
General:
•Interrupt request line employed, interrupt vector generated by the DUART’s.
•Board ID byte for remote (software) configuration identity checking.
•Compact size, four serial ports within standard industrial I/O piggyback dimen-
sions.
•Easy to maintain. Quick and simple replacement if required.
Hardware:
•Full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the extensive range of carrier
boards.
•All required VMEbus lines are available on the piggyback.
•Optional optoisolated driver/receiver supporting TxD and RxD.
•Optional interface adapters with four 15-pin D-sub connectors. (See Adapter AD-
SIO4 chapter this manual)
•Extended temperature version available for harsh industrial environments.
1.2 Board Overview
The PB-SIO4A has two connectors for interfacing to the carrier board. Connector ST101
interfaces to the CPU side of the carrier board whereas connector ST102 provides inter-
facing to the external interface side of the carrier board.

PB-SIO4A Introduction
ID 19958, Rev. 0300Page 1 - 4 ® PEP Modular Computers GmbH
This piggyback is fitted with DUART devices (two driver/receiver devices each handling
two of the four serial channels), as well as a GAL device containing the specific interrupt
handling logic and other features such as the I.D. number.
The optoisolated versions have eight optocouplers which are replaced with wire bridges
on the non-optoisolated versions.
For operational configuration of this piggyback there are solder jumpers located both on
the front and rear side of the board.

1.4 PB-SIO4A External Interfacing
Connection of the PB-SIO4A piggyback to external devices is a function of the specific
carrier board for the piggyback. In conjunction with the carrier board there are various
possibilities for connecting the I/O channels of the piggyback to external devices.
For the carrier boards themselves there are three types of connectors available.
Front Panel:
•50-pin male, double row, flat-ribbon cable connector, locking
•50-pin female, Dsub connector
On-Board:
•50-pin male, double row, flat-ribbon cable connector head
In conjunction with the carrier board’s connectors, there is also the possbility of provid-
ing connection to external devices using the AD-SIO4 adapter. This adapter utilizes
either of the carrier board’s flat-ribbon connectors to provide 4, 15-pin female, Dsub con-
nectors. One connector for each channel of the PB-SIO4A. Two PB-SIO4A’s and two of
these adapters can be combined to provide 8 serial I/O channels. The AD-SIO4 is
optional and must be ordered separately. See chapter 4 of this manual for a description
of the AD-SIO4.
