Matching SDM‑SIO1A connections to an SDM‑SIO1

This section is provided for users who are familiar with the older SDM-SIO1, so they can cross reference connections between the new and old devices.

The SDM‑SIO1A has fewer terminals and different labeling than the SDM-SIO1. It does, however, perform in exactly the same way and can be used as a drop-in substitute with only minor changes to the wiring. It has fewer terminals because the Z, Y, B, and A terminals are not present. For the SDM-SIO1 these terminals were connected internally to the Tx, RTS, CTS and Rx terminals respectively and were, therefore, duplicates. RS-422 and RS-485 devices can be connected to the equivalent multifunction terminals on the SDM‑SIO1A.

The labeling for the RS-422/RS-485 functions has also been changed to avoid the confusion caused by different labeling conventions used for the A and B terminals by different manufacturers. To avoid this, the SDM‑SIO1A uses the alternative TD–, TD+, RD–, RD+ scheme of labeling, with the TD– and TD+ pair being those used for RS-485 half-duplex connections. Please refer to Pin cross connection table for SDM-SIO1 to SDM‑SIO1A for a cross comparison between the connections for the SDM-SIO1 and the SDM‑SIO1A.
