One to Four Port RS-232/422/485 Cards
MIPort ™ Universal PCI Cards suit most any application. Outputs are
independently configurable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Optically
isolated cards offer 2000 VDC port-to-port isolation. Compare B&B’s cards
to others – B&B’s premium Isolation Zone along with optical couplers and
our unique isolated DC-DC converter design protect your PC from voltage
surges and ground loops. DB9M connectors offer positive thumbscrew
locking, more robust than phone jack connectors. Four port models include
fan-out cables. Four port isolated model 3PCIOU4 has two RS-232/422/485
ports and two RS-422/485 ports. All models support data rates up to 460.8
kbps. MIPort™ cards are plug-and-play compatible and have adjustable
FIFO trigger thresholds for input and output. RS-485 operation supports
both 2-Wire and 4-Wire (full and half-duplex), and Automatic Send Data
Control. All models include a comprehensive technical manual and CD ROM
with drivers .
Whether you're application is Industrial Monitoring and control, SCADA,
Point of Sale, Medical, or Security, MIPort™ Universal PCI Cards are your
number one choice.
