Introduction

Overview

The SIO-104 series provides the ultimate serial connection for your PC/104 application. The SIO-104 is

available in three different interfaces, RS-422/485, RS-232, and MIDI.

The RS-422/485 model (P/N 3500) provides an interface capable of long length, high speed

communications.

The RS-232 model (P/N 3501) provides a standard RS-232C interface that is fully compatible all popular

modem software, network operating systems software, and mouse drivers.

The MIDI model (P/N 3502) provides an interface suitable for control of musical instruments, MIDI

sequencers and other compatible equipment.

Factory Default Settings

The SIO-104 factory default settings are as follows:

Base

Address

IRQ

Port 1

280

Software Installation

Windows Installation

Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully installed.

Only users running Windows 7 or newer should utilize these instructions for accessing and

installing the appropriate driver via Sealevel’s website. If you are utilizing an operating system

prior to Windows 7, please contact Sealevel by calling 864.843.4343 or emailing

[email protected] to receive access to the proper driver download and installation

instructions.

1. Begin by locating, selecting, and installing the SeaCOM Asynchronous Serial Software

Suite.

2. Select “Download Now” for SeaCOM for Windows.

3. The setup files will automatically detect the operating environment and install the proper

components. Follow the information presented on the screens that follow.

4. A screen may appear with text similar to: “The publisher cannot be determined due to the

problems below: Authenticode signature not found.” Please click the ‘Yes’ button and

proceed with the installation. This declaration simply means that the operating system is

not aware of the driver being loaded. It will not cause any harm to your system.

5. During setup, the user may specify installation directories and other preferred

configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are necessary

for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An uninstall option is also included

to remove all registry/INI file entries from the system.

6. The software is now installed, and you can proceed with the hardware installation.

Other Operating Systems

Refer to the appropriate section of the Serial Utilities Software.

For your reference, record installed SIO-104 settings below:

technical support is free and available from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. For

email support contact: support@sealevel.com.

Card Setup

The SIO-104 contains several jumper straps for each port which must be set for proper operation.

Address Selection

The SIO-104 occupies eight consecutive I/O locations. A DIP-switch is used to set the base address for

these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing

ports. The following table shows several examples that typically do not cause a conflict. SW1 sets the I/O

address for the SIO-104.

Figure 1 - Address Selection Table

The following illustration shows the correlation between the DIP-switch setting and the address bits used

to determine the base address. In the example below, address 300 is selected as a base. Address 300 in

binary is XX11 0000 0XXX where X = a non-selectable address bit.

Figure 2 - DIP-Switch Illustration

Setting the switch “On” or “Closed” corresponds to a “0” in the address, while leaving it “Off” or

“Open” corresponds to a “1”.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Port Enable / Disable

The port on the SIO-104 can be enabled or disabled with switch position 8 on the DIP-switch. The port is

enabled with the switch “On” or “Closed” and disabled when “Off” or “Open” (refer to Figure 2). If the port

is disabled, be sure to also disable the interrupt request for that port by removing the IRQ jumper at header

J2.

IRQ Selection

The SIO-104 has an interrupt selection jumper which should be set prior to use if an interrupt is required by

your application software. Consult the user manual for the application software being used to determine

the proper setting. Position “R” is provided so that a jumper can be installed that connects a 1K Ohm pull-

down resistor to the output of a high-impedance tri-state driver which carries the IRQ signal. Because the

IRQ line is driven low only by the pull-down resistor, it is possible for two or more boards to share the same

IRQ signal. Position “R” installed is the default setting and should be left as is unless multiple cards are

sharing a single IRQ. If multiple adapters are sharing a single IRQ, then only one adapter should have the

pull-down resistor (position “R” selected) in the circuit.

The IRQ can be set at jumper J2 for IRQ 2/9, 3-5, 7, 10, 11, 12, or 15. In the following example, the IRQ is set

as IRQ4.

Figure 3 - Header J2, IRQ Selection (Factory Default)

RS-485 Mode (RTS Enable)

J4 selects whether the RS-485 driver is enabled by the UART signal Request To Send (RTS) or always

enabled. With the jumper installed, RTS enables the RS-485 driver. Removing the jumper enables the driver

regardless of RTS. The jumper should be installed for a 2/4 wire RS-485 application where the SIO-104 is

acting as a polled node on a multi-drop network. Remove the jumper if you are using a point to point RS-

422 application such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), etc.

Physical Installation

Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully installed.

Extreme care should be taken when installing the SIO-104 to avoid causing damage to the connectors.

After the adapter is installed, connect your I/O cables to J1-J4. Please note these headers are keyed so

that pin 1 of the cable matches pin 1 of the connector. Refer to Card Setup for information on setting the

address and jumper options before inserting the SIO-104 onto the stack.

1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.

2. Remove the PC case cover (if applicable).

3. Gently insert the SIO-104 connector P1 noting proper key orientation of the expansion

connector on a PC/104 compatible card. The SIO-104 adapter is keyed per the PC/104

Revision 2.1 Specification. This will aid in preventing the adapter from being inserted

incorrectly.

4. Mounting hardware (nylon stand-offs and screws) is provided to insure a good mechanical

connection. Retain any mounting hardware not used to allow for future expansion.

5. The cables provided are keyed and can be installed before or after the adapter is inserted in

the stack.

6. Replace the cover.

7. Connect the power cord.

Installation is complete

Technical Description

The SIO-104 series provides the ultimate serial connection for your PC/104 application. The SIO-104

utilizes the 16550 UART. This chip features programmable baud rate, data format, interrupt control and a

16 Byte input and output FIFO.

The SIO-104-422 (P/N 3500) is equipped with the RS-422/485 interface allowing long length, high speed

communications suitable for data collection and shop floor control.

The SIO-104-232 (P/N 3501) provides a standard RS-232C interface that is fully compatible with the DOS

operating system, all popular modem software, network operating systems software, and mouse drivers.

The SIO-104-MIDI (P/N 3502) allows the controlling of Keyboards, sound modules, and drum machines

which all can be interconnected and driven by sequencing software. The MIDI specification has been

updated recently to include tape deck control for automated recording and stage & light show control for

real-time theatrical production.

Features

• Selectable interrupts (IRQs) 2/9, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15

• Multiple adapters can share the same IRQ

• 16550 UART standard, 16C650 UART optional

• Uses PC/104 compatible stack through connector for universal mounting

• 5 volt DC operation

Modem Control Signal Considerations

Some software packages require the use of the modem handshake signals such as CTS or DCD. Refer to

your application software manual to determine the requirements for modem control signals. If no

requirements are mentioned, a safe configuration is to tie DTR to DSR and DCD, and tie RTS to CTS. This

configuration will typically satisfy the modem control signal requirements for most communications

software.

Please terminate any control signals that are not going to be used. The most common way to do this

is connect RTS to CTS and RI. Also, connect DCD to DTR and DSR. Terminating these pins, if not used,

will help insure you get the best performance from your adapter.
