PCI-bus 4Ch RS-232C Communication Board
COM-4(PCI)H
T his board is external equipment and an int erface board of t he
PCI bus conformit y which performs serial communicat ion of
RS-232C conformity.
It has the serial port of four channels by one
sheet.
Attached st andard COM driver soft ware [COM Set up Disk] by
using it , it can access as a Windows or st andard COM port for
Linux.
Moreover, t his board can be replaced within t he system already
built for t he higher rank compatible product of our company
COM-4(PCI).
- It corresponds t o a maximum of 921,600bps high-speed communication.
- T he b aud rat e o f each channel can b e individually set up by software.
- FIFO buffer of 1 28 bytes o f reception is carried for every channel 128 by t es of transmission.
- T he b oard of a maximum of 16 sheet s can be ext ended, an d setup t o COM 1-COM 2 56 is p ossible.
- It can be used as Windows and a standard COM p ort of Linux b y at t ached driver sof tware.
