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.
