4.2.5 RS-485 Data ports
These are the RS-485 two-wire, half-duplex, multipoint serial communication channels used to
transfer data to and from auxiliary devices. These lines are used to communicate with the peripheral
devices such as the CDU-300.
Table 20—RS-485 Port 1 Descriptions
Description and recommended usage
Recommended port for connection to STS peripherals.
RS-485-A Non Inverted Input/Output Line
RS-485-B Inverted Input/Output Line
Table 21—RS-485 Port 2 Descriptions
Description and recommended usage
General purpose data port
RS-485-A Non Inverted Input/Output Line
RS-485-B Inverted Input/Output Line
RS-485-Y Non-inverted Output (4 wire mode)*
RS-485-Z Inverted Output (4 wire mode)*
Note: RS-485 Port 2 shares some circuits with RS-232 Port 2. Only one of these ports can
operate at the same time. The functional port is selected via SkyWeb.
Note: RS-485 4 wire mode is only available on ISAT-200R P/N: 101-200-03
Note : RS-485_GND is isolated within the ISAT-200 system. RS-485_GND needs to be
connected to aircraft ground for reliable operation of the RS-485 databus.
