 Two independent RS-422/RS-485 serial ports
 Provides 3000 VDC isolation
 Provides 2500 VDC surge protection
 16C550 UARTs with on-chip 16-byte FIFO
INTRODUCTION
The PCL-743/745 series card both provide two RS-422/485 serial ports. Each port has a 16C550 UART with on-chip 16-byte FIFO buffer for reliable high speed serial I/O. The UART buffers data into 16-byte packets before putting it on the bus. This drastically reduces CPU load and avoids data loss when the system is busy and cannot process the interrupt quickly, and is especially useful for high speed serial I/O under Windows.

The PCL-745B/745S differs from the PCL-743B/743S card in that the former uses on-board optical isolators to protect your PC and equipment against damage from ground loops, increasing system reliability in harsh environments. To further increase reliability, the PCL-743S/745S offers a surge protection technology, protecting your system from abrupt high voltage surges (up to 2500 VDC) such as those caused by lightning during thunderstorms.
