Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Greetings to all .. this may be a Dan specific question... like he needs more chaos .. LOL ..Anyway .. here goes... If you had say a measurement Computing CIO 422/450 W/16550 UART card in a PC (This is a 422/450 Serial card), would LOR recognize and use it without the 422 Dongle? This particular card can be configured as COM1-4Why would I want to do this ?? I wouldnt .. I have a dongle .. but its Friday .. I'm at work .. and bored .. and it sounded like an interesting question.-- Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I believe that if you can map to the normal comm. ports, RS-422 will look identical to RS-232 on the PC side. I believe that RS-422 is the same a RS-232 with a compliment to each I/O line. All inputs would look like an AND gate with on input line inverted, similar to an OP Amp.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 So Ernie .. is that a definate ... maybe ??? :laughing::laughing:Questions like this is what I get from boredom searching Ebay ..

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Bob,I don't know if these will help you out any, but a friend just dropped of a couple of Black Box 232 <->422/485 converters. The original part number is IC107A-R3.Please let me know if you can use them. If not I will just either store them or throw them out.,Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 'computer on a chip' board that has a RS-485 com port and 11 DIO bits.One guess what first went through my mind while looking at the thing trying to find a use for it....

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I've never tried it, but I've thought about it before, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work. The 422/485 board will appear as a COM port on the PC, which you could assign LOR to, just like a 232 port would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
