RS-232/RS-485 to Parallel Digital Interface Module
● Provides a user-definable parallel interface with bit, byte and string data transfer capabilities. Fully configurable to the user's needs by bus commands. ● Signal monitor feature detects signal changes. Relieves controller of time consuming polling function. ● High-current drivers and input pullup resistors. Drives larger loads and inputs CMOS signals or contacts. ● Programmable RS-232 and RS-485 serial interfaces. Supports point-to-point or network connections. ● Provides IEEE-488.2 Status Structure and SCPI parser. GPIB functionality over a serial link. ● Device setup and network address stored in Flash. Stored setup eliminates program initialization statements. ● Includes a menu-driven configuration program. Steps user through configuration choices.
ICS Parallel Digital Interface Module 2363 is a compact, RS-232/RS-485 to Parallel Interface that provides 48 programmable digital lines that can be configured as inputs or outputs in eight bit bytes. As inputs, each data line has a pullup resistor for sensing contact closures or TTL/CMOS inputs. As outputs, each line is latched and can source 24 mA or sink up to 48 mA. The ICS Parallel Digital Interface Module 2363 can also be configured to monitor up to 15 input lines for changes. Applications include interfacing devices with parallel digital signals to a serial link, controlling discrete devices, and monitoring digital signals for changes.
Provides RS-232 full duplex and RS-485 (RS-422) half duplex asynchronous serial interfaces. Unit automatically responds to the serial interface that receives the command.

2363's parallel I/O signals have the following electrical characteristics. All time delays listed here are maximums, all pulse widths are minimums.
Lines
48 Digital I/O plus 2 Status Inputs
Input Logic Levels
High = > +2.0 V @ ±10 μA
Low = <0.8 V @ 250 μA
with 33 KΩ pullup to +5 VDC for sensing contacts
Max High = 5.5 V
Input Timing
External Data Inhibit line SETS within 1 μs of the active edge of the EDR Input signal and resets after data is loaded. Data loading time for 6 BCD/HEX characters is 0.15 ms (typ.) after the 2363 has been addressed as a Talker.
Output Logic Levels
High = >3 V with 3 mA source
High =>2 V with 24 mA source
Low = 0.0 to +0.55 Vdc, 48 mA sink
Output Timing
Data is transferred to the output 0.7 to 6 ms after receipt of a terminator depending upon transfer method.
Data Stb
