The COMM+16.PCI is a 16-port PCIbus serial I/O adapter that offers the highest serial port count available in a PCI format.
The COMM+16.PCI provides 16 RS232 ports, allowing connection to PLCs, barcode readers, scales and other data acquisition/control devices.
Designed using the XR16C850 UART, the COMM+16.PCI supports standard PC datarates and boasts a top speed of 460.8Kbit/s.
The board provides a 128byte FIFO, 16 times larger than boards designed with 16C550 parts, to allow error free operation even in high-speed applications.
Connection to the board is made through two high-density 68-pin connectors.
Two single fan-out cables provide connection to each serial port through individual DB-25 male connectors for a total of 16 ports.
The COMM+16.PCI also features a universal bus as required by PCISIG specification 2.3, allowing compatibility with today's new 3.3V computers as well as older 5V systems.
The COMM+16.PCI, product number 7161, is available immediately from stock.
Price is $599.00 in low volume warranty quantities, and like all Sealevel products, the COMM+16.PCI is backed by a lifetime warranty.
