Serial I/O Modules: Installation Options
OMNI Flow Computers can come equipped with Serial I/O Modules that communicate with
RS-232-Compatible and/or RS-485 devices. OMNI manufactures four (4) models of serial
modules:
• Dual Channel RS-232-C Serial I/O Module Model # 68-6005
• RS-232-C/RS-485 Serial I/O Module Model # 68-6205-A
• RS-232-C/RS-485 Serial I/O Module Model # 68-6205-B
• RS-232-C/RS-485 Serial I/O Module Model # 68-6205-F
Each serial module has two (2) ports. OMNI 6000 Flow Computers can have up to three (3)
serial modules installed for a maximum of six (6) ports. OMNI 3000 Flow Computers typically
use one (1) serial module providing two (2) ports. Each serial communication port is
individually optically isolated for maximum common-mode and noise rejection. Jumpers are
provided for selection of module address and serial port communication standards.
Communication parameters such as protocol type, baud rate, stop bits and parity settings are
software selectable.

Serial I/O Module # 68-6205-A (manufactured 1997) has two (2) communication ports. The
first serial port (Ports #1 and #3 if two (2) 68-6205 modules are installed) is factory set in the
RS-232-C mode (jumpers are soldered into place and cannot be moved). The second serial
port (Ports #2 and #4) is configured for RS-485 communications only. Although the first serial
port provides RS-232-C signal levels, the tristate output design allows multiple flow
computers to share one (1) serial link

The first serial port jumpers are factory hard-wired for RS-232-C mode. This port is non-
selectable and cannot be changed by the user. The second serial port jumpers are factory
preset in the RS-485 two-wire, terminated positions. This port is user-selectable for RS-485
two-wire/four-wire terminated/non-terminated jumper positions (Figure 6). Back panel wiring
is shown in Figure 3.

connected to the peer-to-peer port (Port #2) of the OMNI, please note that the resistor
networks should be positioned for 2-wire RS-485 and that Terminal A from the RFT 9739
should be wired to OMNI Terminal B (7), and B from the RFT must be wired to OMNI
Terminal A (11). Refer to Technical Bulletin 980401 “Peer-to-Peer” for more information.

RS-232-C / RS-485 Serial I/O Module Model #68-6205-B

Serial I/O Module # 68-6205-B was first manufactured by OMNI in 1998. It is capable of
handling two (2) communication ports. Each serial port is jumper-selectable for either RS-
232-Compatible or RS-485 communications. Although providing RS-232-C signal levels when
in this mode, the tristate output design allows multiple flow computers to share one (1) serial
link. In addition to the RS-232 mode, jumper selections have been provided on each port to
allow selection of RS-485 format. With this option, a total of two (2) RS-485 ports are
available on this model.

RS-232-C / RS-485 Serial Port Jumper Options

The RS-232-C/RS-485 serial port has been designed so that RS-232-C or RS-485
communications standards can be selected by placement of 16-pin resistor networks into the
correct blocks. Figure 7 diagrams show the locations of blocks JB4, JB5, JB6 for the first
serial port (Model #68-6205-B only), and JB1, JB2, JB3 for the second serial port (Models
#68-6205-A and #68-6205-B) for each format. Serial I/O Module #68-6205-A only has the
RS-485 options available for the second serial port, and the first port is hard-wired to the RS-
232-C position and cannot be changed by the user.
NOTE: Serial Port I/O Software Settings - Each serial port is configurable via OMNICOM®
software or the OMNI front panel. Detailed information on how to configure these and other
flow computer settings is available in Volume 3, Chapter 2 of the User Manual and in
OMNICOM Help.
Terminated/Non-terminated RS-485 – The RS-485 devices located at each extreme end of
an RS-485 run should be terminated. Note that the device located at the extreme end may or
may not be an OMNI Flow Computer
