CompactPCI interface card CPCI-7500

serialindustrial

The CompactPCI serial interface CPCI-7500 is a 4-port serial interface for industrial applications. It is configured by inserting MX modules which the board identifies automatically. Each serial port can be configured individually through modules in the following modes: RS232, RS422, RS485 (with or without optical isolation) and Current Loop (optically isolated). The board is meant for use in the harsh industrial environments, thus the inputs and outputs are protected against short-circuits, fast transients (burst), electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI. The board CPCI-7500 is a 4-port serial interface for industrial applications. It is configured by inserting MX modules which the board identifies automatically. Each serial port can be configured individually through modules in the following modes: RS232, RS422, RS485 (with or without optical isolation) and Current Loop (optically isolated). The optically isolated modules allow a protection up to 1000 V for the use in noisy environments where earth loops can occur. Interrupts, addressing and transfer rate are controlled through the BIOS. The I/O lines are protected against short-circuits, fast transients, electrostatic discharge and high-frequency EMI. Each port is supported through a 128-byte FIFO buffer for sending and receiving data which guarantees reliable operation with high data volumes.
