2-port RS422/485 PCI communication controllers

19 April 2006 Computer/Embedded Technology

Advantech's PCI-1601AU and PCI-1601BU are 2-port RS422/485 universal PCI communication cards that support both 3,3 and 5 V signal systems. Both cards are suitable for multitasking environments with their 128-byte FIFO. The PCI-1601BU also provides surge protection for more rugged environments.

The communication cards can be used to create cost-effective serial communication systems with RS422/485 protocols. Both PCI-1601AU and PCI-1601BU provide 16 kV ESD protection, while the PCI-1601BU shields the system from abrupt high voltages up to 2500 V d.c. With a universal PCI connector for 3,3 V and 5 V signals, the cards can be used in both old and new systems, and configuration is simple with the plug-and-play.

Up to four cards can be used in one system, for a total of eight ports. The cards are ideal for target applications in manufacturing automation, building automation, facility management, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems. All PCI serial communication cards are available for Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, with full driver support. Also, with Advantech's bundled ICOM Tools software, the user can test the PCI card's performance by analysing the port status, and easily configure the settings of the card.
