ACM/Flex-16 external modules

21 November 2001 Computer/Embedded Technology

Connect Tech's ACM/Flex-16 is an option for the NT960/PCI serial I/O subsystem that brings the Connect Tech Flex technology to the NT960/PCI. Flex technology features RS232, RS485 and current loop line interfaces.

Key features are: Cirrus Logic RISC CD1400 communications controller, with 12 bytes of FIFO per port that offer high-speed data communications up to 115,2 Kbps per port; up to 128 ports per NT960/PCI host adapter; the ACMFlex-16 offers a highly modular and lightweight design; serial line interface modules (SLIMs) provide different electrical interfaces such as RS232, RS485/422 and 20 mA current loop on the same ACM/Flex-16 module.

As hardware requirements change within the application, users can field upgrade the ACM/Flex-16 with the SLIM that meets one's needs. The ACM/Flex-16 provides full support for 1/2 duplex (2-wire) and full duplex (4-wire) RS485 communications.

For ease of use, the ACM/Flex-16 provides easy-to-read LEDs to indicate the type of SLIM installed on a port. The ACM/Flex-16 and the ACM-16 are fully compatible with each other and can be mixed and matched to meet exact requirements.
