Communication Interface
The computer interface uses full-duplex EIA RS-232C communication. Two serial ports are provided for computer, modem and diagnostic functions. The documented termination hardware includes:
- NTCU01 Termination Unit
- NKTU01 Termination Unit Cable
The connected computer or modem should be powered down before disconnecting the RS-232C cable.
Configuration Settings
The module uses switches and jumpers for address, serial-port and operating configuration:
- S2: Module address
- S3: Serial-port configuration
- S4: Operating options
- Jumpers: Baud rate and applicable RS-232C handshaking signals
For replacement, the switch and jumper settings should match the original module configuration.
Serial Port Configuration
The documented serial-port settings include:
- Baud rate: 300, 1,200, 2,400, 9,600 or 19,200 baud
- Data bits: 7 or 8
- Stop bits: 1 or 2
- Parity: Even, odd or none
The INFI 90 module bus operates at 83.3 Kbaud.
Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
The SPM performs startup checks after initialization or reset, including ROM and RAM tests. For troubleshooting, the manufacturer provides two specific procedures:
- RS-232C Echo Test - Used to check the serial-port communication path
- Module Bus Checkout - Used to check communication between the SPM and modules on the module bus
Field Testing Note: For an IMSPM01 serial communication problem, the manufacturer provides an RS-232C Echo Test as a diagnostic procedure for checking the serial-port interface.
Compatibility Information
Original-System Compatibility: Designed for the INFI 90 Process Control System and its PCU module-bus architecture.
Historical Replacement: The manufacturer identifies IMSPM01 as a direct functional replacement for Network 90 NSPM01.
Other part numbers should not be treated as compatible replacements without system-level verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
