PCI communications cards have universal appeal
An Advantech product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 13, 2004
The Advantech PCI-1611U, 1612U and 1620U are upgrades of the company's existing surge-protected four- and eight-port RS232/422/485 PCI communication cards.
The Advantech PCI-1611U, 1612U and 1620U are upgrades of the company's existing surge-protected four- and eight-port RS232/422/485 PCI communication cards.
The main enhancement of the system lies in its universal PCI connector design, which is compatible with both 5 and 3.3V signals, enabling flexibility for use in diverse system integration solutions.
The surge-protected design shields the system from abrupt high voltages up to 2.5kV DC, and the cards' high performance makes them suitable for temperature, humidity and air pollution controls in rugged environmental monitoring systems.
Moreover, the PCI-1611U also supports optical isolation to improve signal quality and protect the circuitry of PCs and equipment against damages from ground loops in harsh environments.
To improve the system performance, the cards all incorporate 16PCI954 UARTs with a 128byte FIFOs to reduce CPU load, allowing transmission rates up to 921.6 Kbit/s.
All three cards are available for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP and Linux, with full driver support.
Advantech also provides a powerful utility program, Icom Tools, with easy-to-use analysis tools and utilities, to help test the PCI card performance by analysing the port status.
Advantech Icom Tools acts as a PC-based data scope that lets users set a trigger condition, capture the communication data, and monitor the signal status with its easy-to-use menu commands and toolbar buttons.
Icom Tools is applicable to all series of Advantech Icom cards.
The PCI-1611U, 1612U and 1620U are scheduled to be available in July 2004 and are ready to meet customer demand for cost-effective universal PCI communication cards.
