VXC-182iAU
Serial Communication Board with 1 Isolated RS-422/485 port and 1 RS-232 port

The VXC-182iAU serial card provides two communication ports, one is RS-422/485 and the other is RS-232 port. It can be configured as either RS-485 for half-duplex or RS-422 for full-duplex communication, supports for speed up to 115200 bps and is capable of transmitting information over a long distance communication link.

Users can specify a COM port number manually by setting DIP switch, or let the driver choose an available number automatically. The driver provides a maximum of 128 KB software FIFO for each COM port under Windows. It’s practical for large file transmission.

The data lines of each serial ports on i version VXC cards come with photocouplers design. The on-board photo couplers use a short optical transmission path to transfer a signal between elements of a circuit, and keep the data lines electrically isolated. It can help cutting down on ground loops, common mode voltages and block voltage spikes, provide electrical isolation, and offer significant protection from serious over-voltage conditions in one circuit affecting the other.

In harsh industrial environments, the on-board ESD protection component (for i version) diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuit to protects the computer and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current.

The serial communication card are designed for use with intelligent devices like bar code reader, serial printers, intelligent sensors, instrumentation equipment, computers and almost any device with an RS-232 port.
