Part Number: 96931610C0E, 19A3161218-02 ## Overview High-speed 4-port RS-232 serial communication card designed for PCI bus systems, featuring enhanced surge protection for industrial environments; supports data rates up to 921.6 kbps per port with dedicated UARTs to ensure stable communication; interfaces with standard DB9 serial connectors; compatible with multiple operating systems for seamless integration; commonly used in industrial automation, POS systems, and networked peripheral connectivity requiring robust and reliable serial data transmission. ## Function Four-port serial communication card implementing high-speed RS-232 protocol through PCI interface. Provides surge protection circuitry to safeguard against electrical transients. Enables computer systems to communicate with multiple serial devices simultaneously. Supports data transfer rates up to 921.6 Kbps per port. Compatible with industrial automation equipment, point-of-sale systems, laboratory instruments, modems, and other RS-232 peripherals. Allows system expansion for additional serial connectivity in servers, industrial PCs, or workstations. ## Platform PCI bus systems, compatible with PCs or industrial computer setups, connects through 4 high-speed RS-232 serial ports with integrated surge protection for reliable and secure communication with peripherals, suitable for industrial automation, SCADA systems, and data acquisition applications. ## Application Data communication interfaces for industrial control systems, automated testing, SCADA systems, and data acquisition, supporting high-speed serial communication and real-time data transmission with surge protection for enhanced reliability in harsh industrial environments. ## Accessories A 4-port asynchronous serial communication card designed for the PCI bus, providing four independent RS-232 ports. It supports high-speed data transmission rates and features 2,500 VDC surge protection for each port, safeguarding against electrical transients. Onboard 128-byte FIFO buffers reduce CPU overhead. The card interfaces with external serial peripherals via a DB-37 to 4x DB-9 fan-out cable. Common applications include industrial automation, instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and point-of-sale terminals requiring robust serial connectivity in electrically noisy environments. ## Images - - - -
