Functional Description

5464-716 is a SIO Card developed by Woodward. The SIO (Serial In/Out) Module connects the VME bus to four serial communication ports. The module is in charge of four serial ports. Ports A (J1) and B (J2) are RS-232 ports. Ports C (J3) and D (J4) support the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication protocols. When using 38.4 Kbaud or 57.6 Kbaud, Ports C and D must be at the same baud rate.

Features

  • Four Serial Ports:
    • Port A (J1) and Port B (J2): Support RS-232 communication.
    • Port C (J3) and Port D (J4): Configurable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 protocols.
  • Baud Rate Limitation: When using higher baud rates (38.4 Kbaud or 57.6 Kbaud), Ports C and D must operate at the same baud rate.
  • Processor and Memory: Equipped with a 68030 processor to manage data transfers between the ports and the VME bus efficiently. Contains up to 4 KB of Dual-Port RAM and 64 KB of PROM, enabling local memory support for the processor.
  • Fault Indication: A single FAULT LED provides a visual indicator for module status.
  • Protocol Support: Compatible with Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols. Supports Woodward-specific service interfaces, enhancing its integration capabilities with other Woodward systems.
  • No Hardware Switches: The module is streamlined for ease of use, eliminating the need for physical switches.
  • Software and Protocol Support: The SIO module's support for Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols ensures robust communication across various industrial applications. Its compatibility with Woodward-specific service interfaces provides seamless integration with existing Woodward systems.

Troubleshooting

Verify Cable Connections

  • Purpose: Loose or improperly connected cables can disrupt communication and data transfer.
    Steps: Inspect all cable connections between the SIO module and the corresponding devices. Ensure each cable is securely plugged into the appropriate port (J1, J2, J3, or J4). Check for visible signs of damage, such as frayed wires, bent connectors, or corrosion on the contact points. Confirm that the cables are compatible with the specified communication protocols (RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485).
  • Outcome: If any connection is loose or damaged, reseat or replace the cables as needed.

Replace Cables

  • Purpose: Damaged or faulty cables can cause communication errors or complete failure.
  • Steps: Replace the existing cables with new or known-working cables that match the required specifications. Use high-quality cables to avoid issues related to signal interference or poor connectivity. Retest the system after replacing each cable to determine if the issue is resolved.
  • Outcome: If the module begins functioning properly, the issue is caused by faulty cables.

Replace the Module

  • Purpose: Persistent issues after replacing cables may indicate a hardware failure in the SIO module itself.
  • Steps: Power down the system and safely remove the faulty SIO module from its VME bus slot. Install a new or spare SIO module of the same model. Reconnect all cables securely and power up the system. Test the module to ensure proper operation with all connected devices.
  • Outcome: If the new module resolves the issue, the original module is likely defective.

Additional Notes

  • Always follow proper grounding and anti-static procedures when handling or replacing electronic components.
  • If the issue persists even after replacing the module, consider consulting the system's documentation or contacting Woodward technical support for further assistance.
  • Maintaining a stock of compatible spare cables and modules can help minimize downtime in critical systems.
