Up to 16 Mbits/s data rates 16 RS-485/RS-422 compatible channels Mates with an NI FlexRIO FPGA module for reliable and deterministic control of digital communication
Overview
You can use this adapter module with an NI FlexRIO FPGA module for customized, bit-level access to RS485/RS422. With this combination, you can implement customized RS485/RS422 communication or real-time analysis on the FPGA. The NI 6584R features both half- and full-duplex options. The half-duplex module shares TX and RX pairs, so you can transmit or receive on that channel. Full-duplex modules, on the other hand, have separate TX and RX pairs, so you can transmit and receive simultaneously. Back to Top

The new Virtex-5 FPGA architecture is optimized to execute faster and more efficiently using single-cycle timed loops in LabVIEW FPGA. This means you can optimize more LabVIEW FPGA code to fit within Virtex-5 FPGAs and execute more operations per clock cycle.
Software
You need the LabVIEW FPGA Module to program the NI 6584R. Implement this LabVIEW FPGA code on the Xilinx FPGA on the NI FlexRIO FPGA modules and use the NI-RIO driver to communicate with the NI 6584R and the NI FlexRIO FPGA module combination. With LabVIEW FPGA and the NI-RIO driver, you have the flexibility to implement custom RS485/RS422 communication on the NI 6584R.

Connector 0 (Ports 1-8) is a 68-pin VHDCI connector that distributes its signals by way of the VHDCI to Eight DB9 cable (197546-01) through eight different 9-pin ports to the DUT. The half duplex configuration of the NI 6584 places both the RX (acquisition) and TX (generation) signals on the same pins. NI 6584 Pinout (Half Duplex)

The NI 6584 Connector Signals and NI FlexRIO FPGA Module Signals table lists the NI 6584 connector signals and the corresponding NI FlexRIO FPGA module signals necessary for designing a custom component-level IP (CLIP). Channel 0 and Clock I/O are global clocks. The _CC suffix on the RX Data signals identifies channels that are capable of receiving a regional clock.
