SIN-10 / SIN-11 OVERVIEW
With the complexity of today’s computer
operating systems, and the security built
into the operating systems shell, it is
becoming increasingly difficult for
programmers to perform the direct
interface with hardware such as UARTS,
i.e., Windows NT.
The SIN-10 and SIN-11 solve this
problem by making it simple to send one,
or a block of commands using the I/O
built into any software that is capable of
output to a COM port. With these device
there is no need for special echoed
character handshake software.

The SIN-10 and SIN-11 are intelligent
serial line converters that simplify
application software development and
improves overall performance.
The SIN-10 operates at 9600, 38.4k or
the special 470k baud speeds. The lower
cost SIN-11 operates at 9600 baud only.
The integral microprocessor buffers
command strings of 250 characters. A
second 250 character buffer receives data
through a “Party Line” serial communications protocol.
FEATURES
• Performs all handshake operations
• Simple to use
• Diagnostic LED’s
• Powered from motor controllers
• Scans for one to 52 axis

The SIN-10 or SIN-11 is attached to the host computer via a free COM port. A 9 pin “D”
connector plugs directly into a standard PC RS-232 serial port. With an adapter, the USB
port can also be utilized. Input to the first axis is through an RJ-45 connector. Power (5
volts) is obtained from the serial input of the first axis.
LOCAL COMMANDS
Special commands can be executed by the SIN-10 and SIN-11. These commands set the
mode, enable or disable echo’s, and perform functions such as scan for axis, wait while
moving, etc.
