Eight-port universal PCI comm card with reliable communications
September 2006
Industrial Computer Hardware
Advantech's PCI-1622CU is an 8-port RS422/485 universal PCI communication card for both 3,3 and 5 V PCI bus systems. Offering solid surge and isolation protection, the card is engineered for long-distance outdoor communications in harsh environments.
The card can be used in both old and new systems and configuration is also easy with plug-and-play. Four cards can be used in the same system for communication with up to 32 devices.
The surge-protected design of the PCI-1622CU shields the host system from abrupt high voltages up to 2500 V d.c. Furthermore, the card supports optical isolation up to 2500 V d.c to improve signal quality and protect the circuitry of the system and other connected equipment against damages from ground loops.
PCI-1622CU with improved protection is an ideal solution for outdoor serial communication over long distances. RS422/485 is supported up to 1,2 km, which makes the card very suitable for applications in industrial automation, manufacturing, building automation, facility monitoring, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems.
PCI-1622CU and other PCI serial communication cards are available for Microsoft Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, and Linux with full driver support. Advantech's bundled ICOM Tools software allows the user to test the PCI card's performance by analysing the status of the ports and to easily configure the settings of the card.
Advantech is represented locally by ProMicro.
