PCI Express interface card APCIe-7300

serialindustrial

The PCI-Express interface APCIe-7300 are configured by inserting SI modules which the board identifies automatically. The interface can be configured through modules in the following modes: RS232, RS422, RS485 (with optical isolation) and 20 mA current loop. The board is especially suited for data acquisition and industrial process control, for direct connection of sensors, for multi-user systems, as PLC interface, for multidrop applications, for modem and printer control, etc. The APCIe-7300 communication board is configured by inserting SI modules which the board identifies automatically. The interface can be configured through modules in the following modes: RS232, RS422, RS485 and current loop (with optical isolation). The SI modules with optical isolation allow a protection of up to 1000 V for the use in noisy environments where ground loops can occur. The I/O lines are protected against short-circuits, fast transients, electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI. The interface is supported through a 128-byte FIFO buffer for sending and receiving data and guarantees reliable operation at high transfer rates. Features Asynchronous communication adapter Modular mounting through SI modules: 1 socket for 1-port serial interface Can be configured as RS232, RS422, RS485, 20 mA Current Loop (active, passive), with optical isolation through separate SI modules Automatic addressing through BIOS Automatic module identification UART 16C950, downward compatible to 16C450 128-byte FIFO buffer for sending and receiving data Programmable transfer rate
