概要?特點(diǎn)

This product is a low profile sized PCI bus-supported card designed for extending RS-232C compatible serial communication functionality on your PC. The < com-8c-lpci=""> has eight RS-232C communication ports. With a 128byte built-in FIFO buffer for transmission and reception of each channel, the product supports a baud rate of up to 921,600bps. It also comes with a Windows/Linux driver, which allows cards to be used as OS-standard COM ports. This product supports CONTEC-defined driver library “API-PAC(W32)" that provide local routines.

• Max.921,600bps RS-232C Serial Communication

  • The < com-8c-lpci=""> has eight RS-232C-standard serial ports. Baud rates from 2 to 921,600bps can be set. When using the bundled “Standard COM Driver Software" and “Driver library API-PAC(W32)", baud rates from 15 to 921,600bps can be set.
• Possibly used as Windows, Linux-standard COM ports, using the bundled driver library

  • Comes with a driver software that allows the cards to be used under Windows / Linux in the same way as COM ports on the PC. Under Windows, the product supports the OS-standard Win32 API communication function as well as Visual Basic MSComm. Under Linux, OS-standard tty driver’s standard-function can be used. In addition, supplies a diagnostic program to confirm hardware operation and to perform a communication test with equipment.
• Max. 16 cards can be installed as configured in the range COM1-COM256

  • Up to 16 cards can be mounted on a single PC. COM1 - COM256 can be set using the device manager.
• Each channel is equipped with separate 128-byte FIFO buffers for transmit and receive

  • Employed a buffer memory 128-byte dedicated to transmission and 128-byte for each channel. These are FIFO format, useful for high speed communications and to reduce the load to the CPU when transmitting/receiving. As the device manager can be used to enable/disable the use of FIFO and set the FIFO trigger size, you can build an optimum system according to your use.
• Support for Low Profile size slot / standard size slot (bundled with bracket)

  • Bundled with each bracket for Low Profile size slot / standard size slot. Exchanges it for the standard size bracket when mounting on the standard size slot.
• The control line for RS-232C can be controlled and monitored by software

  • The control lines for RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR can be controlled and monitored using software.
