When PE is set (equal to one), the most-significant bit in each byte transmitted will be a parity bit that is either set or cleared by the serial port automatically in order to achieve even or odd parity. If two bits are received incorrectly, the error will go unnoticed by parity checking. This allows for basic error detection, in that if noise on the transmission line causes one bit to be received incorrectly, either received as a '0' when transmitted as a '1' or vice-versa, the error would be detected due to the count of '1' bits in the byte being odd when it is expected to be even, or vice-versa depending on the parity checking settings. As the master transmits a byte to an active slave (that is, a slave with its /SS input active low), the master receives a byte from the slave. Note that the master device outputs the clock synchronization signal SCK to the slave’s SCK which is configured as an input. The device that initiates a data transfer is the master, and all other devices on the network are slaves. The remaining inactive slaves may actively receive, or listen to, data on the communications line, but only one slave at a time can transmit a message.

Rather, the UART deduces the correct time to sample the incoming signal based on the start and stop bits in the signal itself. The above parity settings will also determine how incoming data is interpreted (whether the most significant bit is considered a parity bit or part of the data being transmitted, and how many bits total to expect in each byte). The Silence() routine searches the incoming serial characters for a pre-determined keyword (for example, the ascii name of this particular slave). RS485Receive() to wait for any pending character transmission to complete, then disable the transmitter, and then execute a routine such as Key() to listen to the communications on the serial bus. The words port and channel are used interchangeably to refer to a serial communications link. Data translation between different machines can be performed with ease, and applications that communicate via the one serial port can be debugged using the other serial channel. If your application requires RS485, use the primary serial port (serial1) for RS485 communications, and use the secondary serial port (Serial 2) to program and debug your application code using the RS232 protocol. Each of the two UARTs on the wildcard is capable of full-duplex communications, meaning that both transmission and reception can occur simultaneously (although the RS485 protocol is half duplex as explained below).

Two display programmer supporting up to 256 files, $50. One to two logic-high stop bits mark the end of a character. In other words, each local UART on the wildcard can both send data to and receive data from a remote UART on the other end of a connecting serial cable. No termination - If the PDQ Board is not an end device, you should not terminate that cable. Resistive termination - If the PDQ Board is at the end of the RS485 cable you can terminate the cable by installing jumper caps at both jumper locations, "Term" and "RTerm". In that case, do not install jumper caps at the jumpers labeled "Term" or "RTerm". In that case, when using very long cables you can improve noise immunity and assure a valid idle level when the transceiver is not active by installing bias resistors. In this case, cable connections may be made to Serial 2 at pins 4 and 10 of the PDQ Board’s 10-pin Serial Header, or pins 5 and 6 of the Docking Panel’s 10-pin right-angle Serial Header. By default, the RS485 connections are not brought out to the Docking Panel’s DB-9 Serial1 Connector. For this reason, frame-level cyclic redundancy checks are much more widely used for validating data from serial links, network connections and storage media.

The SPI can transfer data much more rapidly than an asynchronous serial link - its maximum rate is 2 Megabits/second. Serial1 port the default startup serial link. The Serial1 and Serial2 ports are is supported by the HCS12's dual on-chip hardware UARTs, and do not require interrupts to work properly. 5 should work in your situation because of the voltage you will be running (5-10V) and your signal is not high frequency (above 500Mhz) in the first place. When PE is cleared (equal to zero), the most-significant bit of each transmitted character will be a data bit. The /SS (active-low slave select) is typically used to enable data transfers by slave devices when it is active low. At the UART, a logic high (5 volts) is called a mark, and a logic low (0 volts) is called a space. This ensures that all security-related information and incidents are transmitted quickly and with high reliability. Because all of the serial I/O routines on the PDQ Board are revectorable, it is very easy to change the serial port in use without modifying any high level code. We assume that you are now communicating with the PDQ Board via the default Serial1 port at the standard 115200 baud rate.
