    Industio - The Industrial Multiport Async Solution The term Industio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution for industrial applications. The Industio CI-132 Series boards, including CI-132, CI-132I and CI-132IS, are designed for 16-bit ISA/EISA bus. They offer 2 independent RS- 422/RS-485 serial ports for connecting data acquisition equipment and many other serial devices to the PC and its compatible systems.
