What's pmod?
Pmod is galvanically-isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceivers with a
built-in isolated DC-DC converter, that eliminates the need for a
separate isolated power supply in space constrained isolated designs.

AFAIK Pmod is an open standard connector by Digilent and present on many Xilinx
demo boards. It does not involve any galvanic isolation.

The ISOW14x2 on the particular board you're using does however give isolation.
But you cannot name that board Pmod.
