Notes

  1. Analog Inputs are multiplexed in the main connector with DIOs (DIN0/AIN0 – DIO1/AIN1 – DIO2/AIN2 – DIO3/AIN3)
  2. The iButton is multiplexed with DIO6 and cannot be used simultaneously
  3. KLINE shared the pin with DIO-7. RS485 and KLINEs cannot work at the same time (SW selected). 2nd KLINE will share pin with DIO-5 and remove UART 1 TXD1/RXD1
  4. CAN 2 removes DIO-2 and DIO-4
  5. CAN4 is not compatible with 9 Axis MEMs
  6. CAN3 and CAN4 support CAN FD from revision R1B
  7. 2nd, RS-485 in OWA450A+ removes UART5
  8. In the OWA450I, if the 2nd RS485 is in the main connector, it will remove UART5, DIO5/Kline2 and DIO7/Kline1. If it is in the expansion connector, it will remove UART5
