Four-port serial card features onboard protection
An Advantech product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 15, 2005
The PCI-1612CU is a four-port RS232/422/485 Universal PCI communication card with solid surge protection and isolation protection functions for long-distance communication through harsh environments.
New from Advantech is the PCI-1612CU, a four-port RS232/422/485 Universal PCI communication card for both 3.3 and 5V systems featuring solid surge protection and isolation protection functions for long-distance communication through harsh environments.
The surge-protected design shields the system from abrupt high voltages up to 2.5kV DC; furthermore, the PCI-1612CU supports optical isolation up to 2.5kV DC to improve signal quality and protect the circuitry of the PC and other connected equipment against damages from ground loops.
With a selection of RS232, RS422 or RS485, the PCI-1612 cards are very popular.
The new PCI-1612 with improved protection should also prove popular as it is an ideal solution for outdoor serial communication over long distances.
RS232 is supported up to 15m, and RS422/485 is supported up to 1km.
With a Universal PCI connector for 3.3 and 5V signals, the card can be used in both old and new systems.
Configuration is also easy with plug and play, and four cards can be used in the same system for communication with up to 16 devices.
The PCI-1612CU and other PCI serial communication card such as the PCI-1612U, PCI-1612A, PCI-1612B and PCI-1620U are all available for Windows 98/2000/Me/XP and Linux, with full driver support.
Also, with Advantech's bundled Icom Tools software, users can test the PCI card's performance by analysing the port status, and easily configure the settings of the card.
The PCI-1612CU is scheduled to be ready in the end of March, and Advantech is confident that it will be as well received as the previous products in the PCI-1612 series.
