B.4.6.1 RS-232
RS-232 serial communication on the Prototyping Board is supported by an RS-232 trans-
ceiver installed at U9. This transceiver provides the voltage output, slew rate, and input
voltage immunity required to meet the RS-232 serial communication protocol. Basically,
the chip translates the Rabbit 3000’s signals to RS-232 signal levels. Note that the polarity
is reversed in an RS-232 circuit so that a +5 V output becomes approximately -10 V and 0
V is output as +10 V. The RS-232 transceiver also provides the proper line loading for
reliable communication.
RS-232 can be used effectively at the RCM3360/RCM3370 module’s maximum baud rate
for distances of up to 15 m.
RS-232 flow control on an RS-232 port is initiated in software using the
serXflowcontrolOn
The locations of the flow control lines are specified using a set of five macros.
Standard 3-wire RS-232 communication using Serial Ports E and F is illustrated in the fol-
lowing sample code.
