Description
Quatech RS-232 CompactPCI boards
are dedicated serial boards designed specifically for CompactPCI
systems. Though electrically similar to standard PCI boards,
CompactPCI boards are made to be used in specialized enclosures
designed to provide both superior protection against environmental
hazards and easy access for rewiring, replacing, or exchanging
boards. The cannot be installed directly into a PC unless
specialized adapters are used.
Quatech RS-232 CompactPCI boards
provide 2500 Vrms optical isolation making them ideal for high-noise
industrial environments. The serial ports are accessed via onboard
RJ-45 modular connectors, onboard DB-9 male connectors (2 port
boards) or the included cable providing four DB-25 male ports (4
port boards). Serial ports are implemented with 16750 UARTs
containing 64-byte FIFOs. They also use a clock-multiplying feature
allowing them to achieve data rates as high as 460.8 kbps. The high
clock speeds and deep FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead, making the
boards ideal choices for heavy multitasking environments. |
