Introduction  
Introduction  
Overview  
The OMG-ULTRA-SIO provides the PC with two additional ground isolated RS-  
422/485 (P/N 3189) or two non-isolated RS-422/485 (P/N 3089) serial ports for  
terminals, modems, printers, etc. Isolation is important in installations where the  
equipment being connected to the PC is either far from the PC, or on a different  
power transformer circuit. Ground loop current is a commonly neglected and  
misunderstood phenomenon that leads to data loss and the possible destruction  
of communications interfaces. The isolated OMG-ULTRA-SIO provides up to  
500 volts DC of isolation.  
What’s Included  
The OMG-ULTRA-SIO is shipped with the following items. If any of these items  
are missing or damaged, contact the supplier.

The OMG-ULTRA-SIO contains several jumper straps that must be set for  
proper operation.  
Address Selection  
Each port on the OMG-ULTRA-SIO occupies eight consecutive I/O locations. A  
DIP-switch is used to set the base address for these locations. SW1 sets the I/O  
address for port 1 and SW2 sets port 2. The following table shows the  
addressing options available. If different address options are required, please  
contact Technical Support about a custom PAL option.

Note: Each COM: port in the system should have a unique address. Typically  
COM1: - COM4: addresses are 3F8, 2F8, 3E8 and 2E8 Hex.  
Refer to Appendix A for common address contentions.  
Port Enable / Disable  
Each port on the OMG-ULTRA-SIO can be enabled or disabled with switch  
position 4 on the DIP-switch. The port is enabled with the switch ‘On’ and  
disabled when ‘Off’. If any port is disabled, be sure to disable the interrupt  
request for that port by removing the IRQ jumper.

Card Setup  
IRQ Selection  
Headers E11 and E12 select the interrupt request for each serial port. If COM1: is  
selected, the corresponding jumper must be on the IRQ4 setting. If COM2: is  
selected, the corresponding jumper must be on IRQ3.  
Note: Most communications software applications default COM3: to IRQ4 and  
COM4: to IRQ3. This requires the sharing of interrupts between COM1:  
and COM3:, and between COM2: and COM4:. While this is the default, it  
is not always the preferred setting. Check your software configuration  
instructions to determine the most appropriate IRQ selection.  
Figure 2 - Header E11 and E12, IRQ Selection  
Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the  
same IRQ setting at header E11 and E12 and setting the appropriate selections at  
E5 and E6. Note that a polling type driver is needed to share interrupts in this  
fashion. Windows does not supply a polling type driver. Consult your particular  
software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper.

Card Setup  
Interrupt Modes  
Header E5 and E6 selects the interrupt mode for each port. Each port must be set  
in the correct mode to insure proper operation.  
N’ indicates the (N)ormal, single interrupt per port mode. S’ Indicates the  
(S)hared interrupt mode, which allows more than one port to access a single IRQ.  
Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the  
same IRQ setting and setting the appropriate selections at E1. Consult your  
particular software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the  
jumper. M’ indicates the inclusion of a 1K ohm pull-down resistor required on  
one port when sharing interrupts.

E6  
Figure 3 - Header E5 & E6, Normal IRQ Mode  
Set the jumpers to S’ for shared interrupt mode on all blocks sharing an IRQ  
except one. Set that port block for M’. This provides the pull-down resistor  
circuit that makes sharing IRQs possible. If you are using more than one OMG-  
ULTRA-SIO or a compatible adapter in a bus you should only have one port set  
to ‘M’. The following example shows both ports sharing a single IRQ.

Card Setup  
Set the jumper to ‘S’ if you are using more than one OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a bus  
or to completely remove the pull-down resistor for hardware compatibility.  
Setting the adapter in this configuration when it is not accompanied by a pull-  
down resistor will prevent the ports from triggering an interrupt.

RS-485 Enable Modes  
RS-485 is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 requires a tri-state  
driver (not dual-state) that will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be  
remo ved from the line. The driver is in a tri-state or high impedance condition  
when this occurs. Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s)  
must be tri-stated. The output modem control signal Request To Send (RTS) is  
typically used to control the state of the driver. Some communication software  
packages refer to RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer.  
One of the unique features of the OMG-ULTRA-SIO is the ability to be RS-485  
compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is  
especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2 environments where the  
lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. This ability  
means that the user can effectively use the OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a RS-485  
application with existing (i.e. standard RS-232) software drivers.

Card Setup  
Headers E8 (Port 1) and E10 (Port 2) are used to control the RS-485 mode  
functions for the driver circuit. The two selections are ‘RTS’ enable or ‘Auto’  
enable. The ‘Auto’ enable feature automatically enables/disables the RS-485  
interface. The ‘RTS’ mode uses the ‘RTS’ modem control signal to enable the  
RS-485 interface and provides backward compatibility with existing software  
products. If you have E3 and E9 in the RS-422 mode and wish to have the RTS  
signal present at the DB connector place a jumper over the RTS pins at E8 and  
E10. Otherwise the RTS control signal will not be present at the DB connector.  
Headers E3 (Port 1) and E9 (Port 2) are used to control the RS-485 enable/disable  
functions for the receiver circuit and determine the state of the RS-422/485 driver.  
The RS-485 ‘Echo’ is the result of connecting the receiver inputs to the  
transmitter outputs. Every time a character is transmitted; it is also received. This  
can be beneficial if the software can handle echoing (i.e. using received  
characters to throttle the transmitter) or it can confuse the system if the software  
does not. These header blocks are described in the illustration and table that  
follow:

Line Termination  
Typically, each end of the RS-485 bus must have line terminating resistors (RS-  
422 terminates at the receive end only). A 120 ohm resistor is across each RS-  
530/422/485 input in addition to a 1K ohm pull-up/pull-down combination that  
bias the receiver inputs. Headers E1 and E4 allow the user to customize this  
interface to their specific requirements. Each jumper position corresponds to a  
specific portion of the interface. If multiple OMG-ULTRA-SIO adapters are  
configured in a RS-485 network, only the boards on each end should have  
jumpers T, P & P ON. Refer to the following table for each position’s operation:

Appendix A - Troubleshooting  
Appendix A - Troubleshooting  
Serial Utility test software is supplied with the adapter and will be used in the  
troubleshooting procedures. By using this software and following these simple  
steps, most common problems can be eliminated without the need to call  
Technical Support.  
1. Identify all I/O adapters currently installed in your system. This includes  
your on-board serial ports, controller cards, sound cards etc. The I/O  
addresses used by these adapters, as well as the IRQ (if any) should be  
identified.  
2. Configure your adapter so that there is no conflict with currently installed  
adapters. No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address.  
3. Make sure the adapter is using a unique IRQ The IRQ is typically selected  
via an on-board header block. Refer to the section on Card Setup for help in  
choosing an I/O address and IRQ.  
4. Make sure the adapter is securely installed in a motherboard slot.  
5. When running DOS, Windows 3.x or other operating systems refer to the  
Serial Utilities software for that operating system and the User Manual to  
verify that the adapter is configured correctly. The supplied software  
contains a diagnostic program 'SSD' that runs under DOS and will verify if an  
adapter is configured properly. This diagnostic program is written with the  
user in mind and is easy to use. Refer to the DIAG.txt file in the dos\diag  
directory for detailed instructions on using 'SSD'.  
6. For Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, the diagnostic tool 'WinSSD' is  
installed in the Omega Engineering folder on the Start Menu during the  
setup process. First find the ports using the Device Manager, then use  
'WinSSD' to verify that the ports are functional.  
7. Always use the diagnostic software when troubleshooting a problem. This  
will help eliminate any software issues and identify any hardware conflicts.

Appendix C – Electrical Interface  
Appendix C - Electrical Interface  
RS-422  
The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage  
digital interface circuits. RS-422 is a differential interface that defines voltage  
levels and driver/receiver electrical specifications. On a differential interface,  
logic levels are defined by the difference in voltage between a pair of outputs or  
inputs. In contrast, a single ended interface, for example RS-232, defines the logic  
levels as the difference in voltage between a single signal and a common ground  
connection. Differential interfaces are typically more immune to noise or voltage  
spikes that may occur on the communication lines. Differential interfaces also  
have greater drive capabilities that allow for longer cable lengths. RS-422 is rated  
up to 10 Megabits per second and can have cabling 4000 feet long. RS-422 also  
defines driver and receiver electrical characteristics that will allow 1 driver and up  
to 32 receivers on the line at once. RS-422 signal levels range from 0 to +5 volts.  
RS-422 does not define a physical connector.  
RS-485  
RS-485 is backwardly compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for  
partyline or multi-drop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is  
capable of being Active (enabled) or Tri-State (disabled). This capability allows  
multiple ports to be connected in a multi-drop bus and selectively polled. RS-485  
allows cable lengths up to 4000 feet and data rates up to 10 Megabits per second.  
The signal levels for RS-485 are the same as those defined by RS-422. RS-485 has  
electrical characteristics that allow for 32 drivers and 32 receivers to be  
connected to one line. This interface is ideal for multi-drop or network  
environments. RS-485 tri-state driver (not dual-state) will allow the electrical  
presence of the driver to be removed from the line. Only one driver may be active  
at a time and the other driver(s) must be tri-stated. RS-485 can be cabled in two  
ways, two wire and four wire mode. Two wire mode does not allow for full duplex  
communication, and requires that data be transferred in only one direction at a  
time. For half-duplex operation, the two transmit pins should be connected to the  
two receive pins (Tx+ to Rx+ and Tx- to Rx-). Four wire mode allows full duplex  
data transfers. RS-485 does not define a connector pin-out or a set of modem  
control signals. RS-485 does not define a physical connector.

Appendix D - Ground Loop Phenomenon  
Appendix D - Ground Loop Phenomenon  
What is Ground Loop?  
Ground loop Phenomenon occurs when two (or more) pieces of equipment are  
connected together with a common ground and a different ground potential  
exists at each location. This current can cause the connected equipment to  
experience noise that in turn causes data transmission errors. In the extreme this  
ground current can cause equipment malfunction or even destruction.  
Cabling Recommendations  
When connecting the OMG-ULTRA-SIO in a RS-485 network, care should be  
taken that both ends of the network are not isolated from ground (see Figure 12).  
This “floating” ground condition could cause the capacitive or inductive  
coupling of voltages that will cause a break down in the DC to DC converter  
circuit or in the opto-isolator circuit. This condition will cause data errors and  
possibly destruction of the receiver circuit.

Appendix E - Asynchronous Communications  
Appendix E - Asynchronous Communications  
Serial data communications implies that individual bits of a character are  
transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a  
character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing  
(start/stop bits) are pre-defined and must correspond at both the transmitting  
and receiving ends.  
Asynchronous communications is the standard means of serial data  
communication for PC compatibles and PS/2 computers. The original PC was  
equipped with a communication or COM: port that was designed around an 8250  
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART). This device allows  
asynchronous serial data to be transferred through a simple and straightforward  
programming interface. Character boundaries for asynchronous communications  
are defined by a starting bit followed by a pre-defined number of data bits (5, 6, 7,  
or 8). The end of the character is defined by the transmission of a pre-defined  
number of stop bits (usually 1, 1.5 or 2). An extra bit used for error detection is  
often appended before the stop bits.

This special bit is called the parity bit. Parity is a simple method of determining if  
a data bit has been lost or corrupted during transmission. There are several  
methods for implementing a parity check to guard against data corruption.  
Common methods are called (E)ven Parity or (O)dd Parity. Sometimes parity is  
not used to detect errors on the data stream. This is refereed to as (N)o parity.  
Because each bit in asynchronous communications is sent consecutively, it is  
easy to generalize asynchronous communications by stating that each character  
is wrapped (framed) by pre-defined bits to mark the beginning and end of the  
serial transmission of the character. The data rate and communication parameters  
for asynchronous communications have to be the same at both the transmitting  
and receiving ends. The communication parameters are baud rate, parity, number  
of data bits per character, and stop bits (i.e. 9600,N,8,1).
