INTRODUCTION
Advantech serial communication cards leverages the “ Plug and Play “ capability defined in the PCI 2.1 bus specification, and are available with up to 8 ports depending upon user's application.The board requires only one PCI slot within the personal computer and provides independent serial channels. All channels are addressed in a continuous 32 byte I/O block for simplified software access. And, All channels may also share one PCI interrupt. An interrupt status register is available for determining the interrupt source. The Advantech PCI communication card comes with standard 16PCI954 UARTs containing 128 byte FIFOs which are available as an option. These upgraded FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead and are an ideal choice for heavy multi-tasking environments. ICOM Tools Easy Development Environment The function library provides over 50 easy-to-use APIs specially designed for serial communication. The API is ready for use with benefits of saving development time and money. Quick Troubleshooting This utility software allows you to monitor or log data between two communicating devices and help you acquire the data within a friendly user interface. Diagnostic functions makes the installation process trouble free. An RS-485 Network with Automatic Data Flow Control Using RS-232 Software The RS-485 mode automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. The feature makes your network look and act just like an RS-232 network. Application software written for half duplex RS-232 can be used without modification. Moreover, you can simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires. 16PCI954 UART The 16PCI954 is a high performance Quad UART with an on-chip PCI interface. Targeted at PCI-based serial and parallel expansion cards, PCI-architecture computer systems and embedded applications, the 16PCI954 integrates a PCI bus interface together with four of 16C950 high performance UARTs, a bi-directional parallel port and a local bus bridge function. This single-chip solution replaces five or more integrated circuits used in todays products, giving performance, cost and size advantages to new designs.
